Rádios universitárias gaúchas no contexto do webjornalismo: um estudo comparativo

Abstract

In this final course work, we did an observation of the exploration of webjournalism elements in federal college radio stations of the state Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. We select four college radio stations of the state for the study: Rádio Universidade 800 AM (UFSM), Rádio Federal FM 107,9 (UFPEL), Rádio da Universidade 1080 AM (UFRGS) and FURG FM (FURG). We investigate how this radio stations are adapting themselves to the convergence context from the analysis of how the stations explore five main characteristics of webjournalism, in which are: interactivity, multimidiality, memory, personalization and hipertextuality. For such, we accomplish a forehand bibliographic review about the concept of convergence and the radio in convergent context; also, about the webjournalism and your main characteristics. In order to study how the webjournalism characteristics are applied in sites of university radio stations, we make a comparative research by an adapted summary sheet based on the book organized by Palacios (2011). The analysis’ results indicate a better performance of multimidiality. As the rest of the characteristics, they had a more problematic execution.
