Radiojornalismo e pandemia no sertão central do Piauí

Abstract

The book is a direct response to society's desire to question what the University, especially the public one, is doing to provide answers and reflections on the pandemic. Our objective is to: clarify how the process of radio journalism information mediation was carried out during the pandemic period in the Central Sertão region of Piauí, as well as to discuss these events with professionals on the information front line and broadcasters, as well as those who do this type of communication via podcast; to offer answers and social reflections on radio journalism and its faces and interfaces. The research portrays a year of the pandemic, which began in Piauí in March 2020 and had our final focus of analysis in March 2021. This book is aimed at all audiences, and is not just an academic material. That is why we chose to work with the language of essays and not scientific articles. After all, radio is an area that reaches all ages and audiences. Methodologically, we opted for field and case studies, always respecting the issues of the pandemic as distancing and social isolation practices. For the sake of readability, the book is divided into parts. The first part, written by Géssica Lima Feitosa dos Santos, is entitled “Rádio Difusora AM. The pioneering radio journalism station in the Central Sertão region of Piauí. Perspectives on the pandemic”. The second part, written by Ana Caroline de Oliveira Morais, is entitled “Educational issues during the pandemic. Radio journalism on the only educational FM station in the Central Sertão region of Piauí”. The third part of the book, written by Vinícius da Silva Coutinho, is entitled “The impacts of the pandemic on radio journalism in Cidade Modelo FM”. Meanwhile, the fourth part, written by Luana de Sousa Rodrigues Moura, is entitled “Grande Picos FM and radio journalism in the Central Sertão region of Piauí during the COVID-19 pandemic”. The fifth part of the book, written by Myvrian Hazy Braga de Araújo, is called “Silences and trends of podcasts in the Central Sertão of Piauí”. The sixth and final chapter, written by Orlando Maurício de Carvalho Berti, is called “Trends in radio journalism in the Sertão of Piauí after the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes, tensions and new normals in the way of explaining sound news. The dial gains many new tones”.
