News media is a term that encompasses various methods of disseminating news and information to the public. It all began with the circulation of written news during the Renaissance era in Europe, eventually evolving into printed news in the late 1400s. The English and American newspapers emerged in the 17th century, setting the stage for the newspaper evolution in the 18th and 19th centuries. Over time, the news media industry has expanded to include broadcasting[1], which involves transmitting audio and video signals to large or small audiences. Today, journalism exists in many formats, including televisão[2], radio, and online platforms. These developments have led to a range of news media forms, including newspapers, newsmagazines, and online journalism, each with their unique processes, features, and challenges. News media plays a crucial role in informing the public, shaping opinions, and maintaining media integrity in the face of emerging issues such as fake news[3].

Utilizado pela primeira vez em 1900 por Constantin Perskyi, era conhecido como "telephote" e "televista" nas primeiras propostas. A televisão evoluiu a partir da digitalização mecânica de imagens, tendo o disco de Nipkow, patenteado em 1884, desempenhado um papel crucial. Inicialmente, os sinais de televisão eram transmitidos através de radiodifusão terrestre, mas atualmente incluem o cabo coaxial, a fibra ótica, os sistemas de satélite e a Internet.
