Em busca do rádio de autor: apontamentos para uma rediscussão crítica da história do rádio no país

Abstract

The present article brings up some points that can lead to a critical review of the Brazilian radio history — one that values the authors’ dimension. The established hegemonic outline on the media history avoids a broad discussion that considers the radio authors, its repertory and the development potentials, which may be found in the broadening scenario of alternative production, broadcast and social uses offered by the digital technologies. Thus, this article discusses the report of the radio’s history in Brazil provided by Gisela Ortriwano’s book, A informação no rádio (Information on radio), published in 1985.
