A produção de conhecimento no podcast jornalístico Como começar do Nexo Jornal

Abstract

This research investigates journalism defending that it is a form of knowledge. That is, it produces a specific type of knowledge that is located between the knowledge produced by the sciences and the knowledge of commom sense. A historical review of the researches about the subject is presented, based on the pioneering essay by Robert Ezra Park from 1940, as well as on works developed in Brazil by Eduardo Meditsch (2001; 2002; 2003), Adelmo Genro Filho (1987), Alfredo Vizeu (2014) and Laerte Cerqueira (2018) and the most recent analysis about the subject made by Rasmus Nielsen (2021), that resumes Park‘s essay. Sound journalism is researched in podcast format. This media appeared in the United States in 2004 and, despite the fact that, in that same year, there were already productions in Brazil, the national market advances, notably, after 2018, with the creation of various journalistics programs. Based on the concept of ―expanded radio‖, as proposed by Marcelo Kischinhevsky (2016), the emergence and the development of the media is approached, presenting its main defining characteristics. In the same way, questions related to the sound production itself are discussed, that is, the use of sound as basis for the content. The object of research is the children‘s literature series Como começar a ler para crianças, part of the culture podcast Como começar, by Nexo Jornal, published in 2019. The form and the content of three of the eight episodes of the series are analyzed through two methodologies: content analysis (BARDIN, 1977) and analysis of sound elements word, music, silence and sound effects that composed the radiophonic language (BALSEBRE, 2005) to investigate how the journalistic narrative produced (or even, stimulated the production) of knowledge. Furthermore, based on three categories, proposed by Teun van Dijk (2005): personal knowledge, group/social knowledge and cultural knowledge, the type of knowledge generated is identified. It is concluded that a journalistic production is created from the assumption that there is a general knowledge that is culturally shared. From this, specific knowledge, such as personal and group, are present in the narrative that will stimulate the production of another type of cultural knowledge, this time, a little more specific than the general that origined the production itself.
