Abstract

Social Television (Social TV) is the new way of socializing with the programming broadcast on television channels. There is an increasing concern among broadcasting organizations regarding the topics covered in their programming, due to the demand of Internet users who mostly consume social networks and demand that television adapt and debate issues that are inserted in the environment Social. Based on three examples broadcast on TV Globo in Brazil, we propose a reflection to demonstrate how the phenomenon of Social Television occupies spaces for discussion between TV and the Internet and to question whether the changes that occur in the programming of TV Globo aim to satisfy the demands of the mentioned minorities or simply seek to maintain their leadership position, through the use of social struggles. The results show that the large mass media adapt to the capitalist system to maintain its power, often through the modes of production of profit guaranteed by the appropriation of characteristics and demands of social minorities.
