Abstract

A linguagem radiofónica remete para o universo da sonoridade, no qual a realidade é reconstruída com códigos sonoros próprios que resultam de um processo de manipulação técnica e que permitem ao ouvinte interpretar as mensagens formando imagens mentais. Partindo do pressuposto teórico de que as notícias são narrativas, e como tal uma construção social, o artigo propõe uma reflexão acerca das estratégicas discursivas da informação radiofónica enquanto construtora de uma realidade sonora. No presente texto, são analisadas as notícias emitidas pela rádio portuguesa durante a campanha para o referendo à Interrupção Voluntária da Gravidez, concluindo que a rádio construiu a realidade com base nos sons de políticos e de acordo com a visão masculina. The sound construction of reality: an analysis of the abortion referendum's radio coverage in Portugal Radio language directs us to the universe of sonority, in which reality is reconstructed with its own sound codes resulting from a process of technical manipulation that enables the listener to interpret the messages by building mental images. Radio journalists face a permanent challenge: how to report the reality using sounds only; therefore, how to use a set of sound elements which enable them to reconstruct reality and to make this reconstruction available to their listeners. The present paper aims at reflecting upon the way such sound reconstruction is made. It begins with a short theoretical framework about the use of sound in radio and its importance for radio expressivity. Then it examines how TSF, Antena 1, and Renascença radio stations covered the recent campaign on the Abortion Referendum in Portugal, through an empirical analysis based on radio sound resources.

In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; & 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

In accord with these provisions, the OBS journal believes in the vigorous assertion and defense of Fair Use by scholars engaged in academic research, teaching and non-commercial publishing.

We encourage authors to obtain appropriate permissions to use materials originally produced by others, but do not require such permissions as long as the usage of such materials falls within the boundaries of Fair Use.
