That period corresponds to the management of the first Sphan director, Rodrigo de Melo Franco de Andrade. Edited since 1937, the publication gathered a group of intellectuals that have built the field of heritage in Brazil, having as protagonist the Sphan itself. Therefore, the Revista do Patrimônio is taken as object and, simultaneously, as a fundamental source for this research, considering it as social a place for those intellectuals that have collaborated to the preservation of the heritage. In that manner, Rodrigo M. F. de Andrade, that was also the editor of Sphan publications, is taken as the developer of the networks built around the Revista do Patrimônio, which contributed for the constitution of the heritage field, which could promote itself through this publication.<br>Esta dissertação investiga a trajetória da Revista do Patrimônio, a principal publicação do Serviço do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional – Sphan, no período entre 1937 e 1967. Este período de análise corresponde à gestão do primeiro diretor do órgão, Rodrigo Melo Franco de Andrade. Editada desde 1937, esse periódico aglutinou um grupo de intelectuais que construiu o campo do patrimônio no Brasil, tendo como protagonista o próprio Sphan. Desse modo, a Revista do Patrimônio é tomada como objeto e, simultaneamente, como fonte primordial desta pesquisa, que a considera um lugar de sociabilidade desses intelectuais que colaboraram com a preservação do patrimônio. Assim, Rodrigo M. F. de Andrade, que também era o editor das publicações do órgão, é tido como o articulador das redes que ali se encontraram e que contribuíram com o processo de constituição do campo do patrimônio, que teve na Revista um dos meios empregados para se construir e se divulgar.

This two-part mixed-methods study analyzed the Twitter activity of two regional magazines – D Magazine and Texas Monthly – and how social media editors implement strategies to maintain journalistic integrity (news values, topics, and ethical standards) while increasing engagement.

The resurgence of modern periodical studies has expanded our understanding of “littleqrdquo; magazines and the editors behind them, but many studies continue to be restricted to the 1920s, examine male editors, and focus on well–established literary journals, rather than the subversive magazines that expanded the reign of modernism in the years from 1910 to 1950. These studies, though fascinating, privilege a select few and leave many lost to the archive. The new theory of book history and those who evaluate the book as a material object that is designed to circulate among a range of publics provide powerful and useful frameworks for recognizing the significance of what had previously been considered mere data. This study focuses on several neglected female little magazine editors who, despite various obstacles, powerfully intervened in the modernism debates throughout the 1910s through to the late 1940s by shaping successful publications to invite public appreciation of values they espoused. Unlike canonical modernist figures such as Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot who championed an elite style of modernism that was usually inaccessible to most, Lola Ridge, Gwendolyn Bennett, Caresse Crosby, and Kay Boyle encouraged diversity and fostered heterogeneity by selecting and juxtaposing material by new writers and artists who moved easily around and over the borders separating high art and mass culture, who recovered marginalized voices from history, and who appealed for social justice. Further, their traditional and non–traditional roles while they served as editors show that in many cases being an editor meant more than just choosing works and arranging them. One chapter is devoted to Lola Ridge, the American literary editor of Broom (1922-1923). Ridge was a cosmopolitan modernist who welcomed a broad audience to Broom and invited readers to champion styles of writing and artwork that contained strong social commentary with American subjects, instead of copying European models that many argued were created for art's sake. Another chapter focuses on African American poet, graphic artist and literary columnist, Gwendolyn Bennett, who held several editorial roles at Opportunity, Fire!!, and Black Opals, from the mid–1920s until the early 1930s. A heterodox modernist, Bennett skillfully discussed and placed artistic work by members of the New Negro movement next to the work by their forefathers, subsequently fostering congeniality between the two conflicting literary groups and promoting a united front during the development of the Harlem Renaissance. She also promoted co–operation between black and white artists and writers with her universally themed poetry, graphic art, and literary column. Chapter four centers on Black Sun Press book publisher, novelist, and poet, Caresse Crosby, owner and editor of Portfolio (1945-1948), who challenged artistic reception on both sides of the Atlantic by bringing glamorous modernism to her unbound journal of eclectic work. Crosby promoted co–operation between artists and writers from conflicting World War II countries through the placement and types of materials she published on the pages of her magazine. The epilogue calls for scholars to expand their view of the modernist project and recover the often “hidden” work by overlooked female little magazine editors. Like Ridge, Bennett, and Crosby before her, Kay Boyle (This Quarter 1927-1929), who can be linked to each editor (directly or indirectly), relied on her trusted network of friends as she edited This Quarter. Her editorial support for young and experienced artists who used innovative styles and her commitment to social justice parallels her colleagues' dedication to the modernist project. These women's labor, the significant literary time periods they worked in, the different genres, critical content, and styles of modernism they championed, and the social formations their journals produced expanded the base of modernism and reinvigorated American art and literature between the Wars, leaving a legacy for future artists and writers.

This study incorporates archival and historical research on women poets and editors and their roles in the production of modernist and/or leftist little-magazine cultures in Canada. Where the first three chapters investigate women poets who were also magazine editors and/or members of magazine groups, the fourth chapter takes account of women magazine editors who were not themselves poets. Within this framework, the dissertation relates women's editorial work and poetry to a series of crises and transitions in Canada's leftist and modernist little-magazine cultures between 1926 and 1956. This historical pattern of crisis and transition pertains at once to the poetry of Dorothy Livesay, Anne Marriott, P. K. Page, and Miriam Waddington and to the little-magazine groups in which they and other women were active as editors and/or contributing members. Chapter 1 deals with Livesay's editorial activities and poetry in the context of two magazines of the cultural left, Masses and New Frontier, between 1932 and 1937. Chapter 2 concerns Livesay, Marriott, their involvement in poetry groups in Victoria and Vancouver, and their publications in Contemporary Verse and Canadian Poetry Magazine, between 1935 and 1956. Chapter 3 addresses the poetry of Page and Waddington published in Preview and First Statement from 1942 to 1945, their poetry appearing in Contemporary Verse from 1941 to 1952--53, and their editorial activities in and/or relationships to these Montreal and Victoria - Vancouver magazine groups between 1941 and 1956. Chapter 4 documents the histories of some often forgotten women who edited modernist or leftist little magazines in Canada between 1926 and 1956. These core chapters are prefaced and concluded by histories of the antecedents to and descendants of Canadian modernist and leftist magazine cultures.

Este trabalho é um estudo de caso da revista Época São Paulo, publicação mensal da Editora Globo que circulou entre maio de 2008 e dezembro de 2013, junto à revista Época, semanal. O objetivo é investigar os acertos e erros do título, tanto editoriais quanto comerciais, a fim de explorar os formatos adotados pelas revistas de cidade e formular recomendações práticas para esse gênero de publicação na era dos tablets e smartphones. Neste trabalho, a observação direta, não estruturada, feita por este pesquisador num momento anterior ao início oficial da pesquisa (o autor desta dissertação foi repórter da Época São Paulo entre 2008 e 2010 e seu editor de 2010 a 2012, afastando-se um ano antes do encerramento do título), combina-se com a observação indireta sobre os bastidores da revista (por meio de longas entrevistas com os três diretores que conduziram a redação em períodos sucessivos) e com o estudo das edições publicadas da Época São Paulo e da bibliografia consultada. Entre os temas pesquisados estão jornalismo de revista, jornalismo utilitário, informação local no âmbito da sociedade global, desafios da metrópole como espaço de consumo e também de direitos, autoria e objetividade no exercício do jornalismo, influência da circulação e da periodicidade na construção da relevância e desafios da comunicação no ciberespaço público. Espera-se contribuir para o estudo do jornalismo de revistas no Brasil, em especial para o campo das revistas de cidade.<br>This monograph is a case study of Época São Paulo magazine, Editora Globo\'s monthly publication which circulated from May 2008 to December 2013, as a supplement of weekly Época magazine. The purpose is to investigate the mistakes and successes of the title, both editorial and commercial, in order to explore the formats adopted by city magazines and formulate practical recommendations for this genre of publications in the age of the tablets and smartphones. In this work, this researcher\'s unstructured direct observation, in a period before the official beginning of the research (the author of this thesis worked as a reporter for Época São Paulo from 2008 to 2010 and as its editor from 2010 to 2012, resigning one year before the end of the title) is combined with the indirect observation about the backstage magazine (through long interviews with the three editors in chief in charge of the newsroom in successive periods) and also the study of the published issues of Época São Paulo and the selected bibliography. Among the researched topics were magazine journalism, utilitarian journalism, local information in the scope of the global society, the challenges of the metropolis as a space of consumption as well as of rights, authorship and objectivity in the practice of journalism, influence of the circulation and periodicity in the construction of relevance, and the challenges of communication in the public cyberspace. It is expected to contribute to the study of magazine journalism in Brazil, especially in the area of the city magazines.
