Vozes da rádio comunitária

o papel da Heliópolis FM na luta contra a Covid-19 na cidade de São Paulo

Abstract

The guidelines for the adoption of social isolation, the use of masks and hand hygiene are configured as the main forms of containment of Codiv-19, as recommended by WHO - World Health Organization. However, these measures are difficult to implement, especially in communities neglected by the government. The radio can act in this context as a mechanism for raising and social mobilization, reflection that motivates the analysis of the role played by the Community Radio FM Heliopolis in the locality where it operates the first six months of the pandemic. In addition to bibliographic and documentary research, the methodology used the foundations of Oral History that revealed, in the statements of characters linked to the broadcaster, obstacles regarding the awareness of the community, which in part is reluctant to observe restrictive measures due to the resulting economic impacts.
