Audiovisual and Its Intentions

uma historiografia do telejornalismo brasileiro

Abstract

UFRJ professor Beatriz Becker elaborates a historiographical study of journalistic narratives in audio and video in Brazil, from its beginning in the first half of the 20th century to the present day. The author initiates her analysis on the early days of cinema and audiovisual history, from the understanding of the seventh art as a circus entertainment to the political use of newsreels in World War I, towards the popularization of television as the most important communication media in Brazil, the challenges of the digital age and she concludes by looking at the effects of the covid-19 pandemic. The work makes it possible to reflect on the development of journalistic language in audio and video with a historical perspective, without ever deviating from the social and ethical responsibilities that intersect the job of translating the main events of the reality of the country and the world.
