The objective of this work is to analyze whether the news applications belonging to national
and international journalistic companies explore, in their structure, the characteristics of mobile
journalism, observing three applications of traditional journalistic vehicles: The New York
Times (USA), Clarín (Argentina) and Estadão (Brazil). In addition, this work is also dedicated
to discussing mobile journalism and its characteristics and specificities, reflecting on how
applications are being used by vehicles and drawing an overview of the national scenario in
relation to the international one. Regarding the methodology, the hypothetical-deductive and
comparative methods are used. The investigation is of a basic nature and qualitative in approach.
Among the procedures adopted are the bibliographic survey, the description of the selected
applications, the application of the evaluation framework, the collection of information, the
analysis of the material collected and the interpretation of the results. At the end of the analysis,
it was possible to classify the Clarín and Estadão apps as limited, as both still do not fully
explore the characteristics of mobile journalism. The New York Times app was classified as
full as it meets most of the criteria raised.
