Resumo Inglês:

Acceleration of trends such as ownership concentration, and crossmedia partnerships and initiatives, encourage media companies to explore convergence in news production routines in order to thrive in a very competitive arena. Since 2006, journalistic convergence has been the main topic of global conferences and meetings of media editors. This paper analyzes the contextual factors for news production convergence in Brazilian and Spanish media corporations and presents some of the models of journalistic convergence in its business dimension. For Spanish examples, the article specially focuses its attention on Catalan media.
