*CFP 2020.2 Issue – Dossier “Radio and catastrophes”*

**

The new coronavirus pandemic paralyzed a third of the planet in just 
three months, imposing challenges on the authorities. Each country 
reacted differently, with more or less severe measures, ranging from 
total inaction to quarantine and lockdown, going through different 
recommendations for social isolation and suspension of activities 
involving urban displacement. With a total of victims that doubles every 
couple of days, the so-called Covid-19 is spreading at a time of strong 
circulation of disinformation campaigns, which question scientific 
knowledge, bringing risks to public health.

Radio plays an important role, one way or another, in informing and 
building the population’s knowledge about prevention and mitigation 
measures, in order to avoid a collapse in health systems, affecting 
mainly the poorest population.. Due to its reach and agility, radio can 
be a powerful ally in large-scale communication strategies, assuming a 
leading role in times of catastrophes such as pandemics, floods, 
earthquakes, fires, tsunamis and other emergency situations.

In this context, Radiofonias encourages submissions that present case 
studies, propose theoretical reflections and/or arise from research 
projects involving the relationship between radio and catastrophic 
situations, such as:

• Radio and public information in times of calamity

• Radio and scientific communication about Covid-19

• Challenges when doing radio in times of pandemic and social isolation

• Protocols for radio action in catastrophe situations

• Broadcasting of public service campaigns by radio

• Radio and misinformation

Deadline for submissions: *July 26th, 2020*
