Abstract	This research investigates the activity of news design in the current news production context of Rio Grande do Sul newspapers. Its objective to characterize and analyze the activity, in order to understand how the practice is set in the scenario of journalistic convergence in its last stage. Specifically, the research aims to identify the role of the agents involved in design in the journalistic production chain, highlighting their primary functions, contributions and performance limits. The themes that have been mobilized are news design and journalistic convergence, whose authors such as Ramón Salaverría (2010, 2017), Samuel Negredo (2008), Yolanda Zappaterra and Cath Caldwell (2014), Francesco Frachi (2013), Ary Moares Filho 2010), Ana Gruszynski (2015, 2011, 2007), Adriana Barsotti (2014, 2018), among others, provide some of the main concepts for the work. This is a qualitative study that had as methodological procedures bibliographical and documentary research and interviews with 17 professionals from the newsrooms of four vehicles in the extreme south of the country: Zero Hora, Correio do Povo, Pioneiro and Diário de Santa Maria. Through the interviews, data about the organizational, editorial, structural dimensions, as well as productive routines and tools of the posts corresponding to editor-in-chief, art editor, diagrammaker and webdesigner were collected. Based on the detected scenario of newsroom compaction, reduction of printed publications and reduction of teams, we work with the hypothesis that the newspaper design sectors have not yet fully adhered to the convergence, since the performance, in many cases, is not multiplatform. Thus, it was noticed that, today, in the newsrooms in Rio Grande do Sul, news designers are linked to the processes of print or on-line production, except for some points of approximation between practices and/or sectors. At the same time, it was verified that the size of the news organizations, their structure and the scale of convergence determine the profile of the performance of the news designers, what are their main attributions, their degree of autonomy and the volume of professionals dedicated to the design. Peculiarities that, on the whole, are reflected in the performance of professionals and in the quality of what is produced. Therefore, it is argued that, as newsroom convergence models advance, news designers will work together, being able to (1) bring together specialties in the same team – which could set up an early stage of integration – or , in fact, (2) operate multiplatform.
