Jornalismo cultural no rádio comercial popular: uma análise dos noticiários da Super Rádio Tupi e da Rádio Globo do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

This thesis will investigate the relationship between the cultural journalism and the popular commercial radio. The objective is to discuss the airtime given to the cultural editorial in the contemporary radio journalism in Brazil with focus in popular private stations. The radio stations Super Rádio Tupi (1280 AM / 96.5 FM) and Rádio Globo (1220 AM / 98.1 FM), both of them located in Rio de Janeiro, were chosen for this study. The stations are direct competitors and they transmit shows that are mostly a mixture of journalism, sports and entertainment. A comparative study between the radio programmes Sentinelas da Tupi and O Globo no Ar, will be provided in order to find out the existence of cultural journalism on them. The research includes interviews with professionals who work on those radio stations. The literature review encompasses themes such as the concept of culture, the cultural legacy of radio in Brazil, the consolidation of radio journalism in the country and the cultural journalism practice. By crossing the theoretical referential and the data obtained, we seek to reflect on the journalistic content of the broadcasters and, thus, on the real airtime dedicated to cultural journalism in their news
