CfA – 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.

Deadline for submissions: March 21, 2022

CfA – Issue 2022.2 – Dossier “Radiojournalism and electoral coverage”

Appointed in several researches as the most credible medium, radio has 
been facing difficulties to preserve its symbolic capital in a scenario 
of economic fragility and growing political radicalization. Traditional 
broadcasters articulate with local, regional and national party 
interests, compromising the balance of journalistic coverage in favor of 
some candidates, to the detriment of others. In a context of wide 
circulation of disinformation campaigns, which characterized the last 
elections in Brazil and internationally, the debate on major issues of 
society ends up being overshadowed, if not interdicted.

AM/FM radio also faces competition from new players in the informational 
audio market, with the rise of independent podcasts, with news and/or 
interviews, which vie for the audience's attention. Not to mention an 
entire ecosystem of absolutely opaque audio, which includes groups of 
instant messaging applications, such as WhatsApp and Telegram, where 
both radio and hybrid content circulate, edited as part of campaign 
strategies – in general, a dirty war, in that lies are hurled at 
political opponents.

A few months before the beginning of the electoral period in Brazil, 
researchers are mobilizing around collective investigations, such as 
those developed by the Radiojournalism Research Network (RadioJor), 
linked to the Brazilian Association of Researchers in Journalism 
(SBPJor), to monitor electoral coverage offered by radio, understood as 
a public broadcasting service.

In this challenging context, Radiofonias – Journal of Audio Media 
Studies announces the dossier “Radiojournalism and electoral coverage”, 
encouraging submissions that propose reflections, case studies and/or 
stem from research projects involving issues such as:

• Quality in radio journalism concept and measurements;
• Balance in radio coverage of politics;
• Disinformation as a business model;
• Radio, politics and editorial line – organizational constraints;
• The sources of information in radio journalism during the electoral 
period;
• New actors in audio journalism – the electoral role of podcasting, 
streaming and instant messaging apps in the circulation of news and 
political commentary;
• New listening habits – conditions for the appropriation of political 
news in sound media by the audience in the context of expanded and 
hypermedia radio.

Deadline for submissions: July 4, 2022**
