Issue 2022.1 – “Radio and gender”

Although they represent the majority of the Brazilian population, women 
are a minority in journalism. According to data from Workr, the 
corporate communication platform of the Comunique-se portal, 15,654 
women were employed in media in 2019, equivalent to 36.98% of jobs in 
the national press market. In radio, however, female participation was 
even lower: only 2,284 women (20.5% of the total) worked in journalistic 
roles, such as reporter, presenter and editor-in-chief, against 11,182 
men. This is a sample of the deep gender inequality that historically 
characterizes radio in Brazil, where the male voice prevails.

This scenario began to change in the 1970s, with pioneering initiatives 
such as Rádio Mulher (SP), and more recently with changes in the 
management of public and private broadcasters, increasingly attentive to 
discussions around gender equity. But even today, in most cases, 
productive routines marked by sexist and misogynist practices prevail, 
often with explicit situations of moral and sexual harassment. An 
environment permeated by toxic masculinity, in which the voice of women 
and people of non-binary sexuality is still barely heard, often 
reiterating stereotypes.

Understanding that the diversity of genres is key for a representative 
and plural radio, committed to equity, Radiofonias – Journal of Audio 
Media Studies launches the dossier “Radio and gender”, in which it 
encourages submissions that propose theoretical reflections, case 
studies and/or arise from research projects involving issues such as:

- Representations of genres on the radio;
- Sexism, misogyny and homophobia in sound broadcasting;
- Who speaks on the radio: credibility and speech;
- Pathfinders: history and memory of pioneers who managed to make female or
- LGBTQIA+ voices heard on the radio;
- Public policies and management experiences in search of gender equity 
in radio.

New deadline for submissions: April 29th, 2022
