Radialistas e jornalistas : obsolescência da legislação e modernidade das profissões

Abstract

The technology defies the law, causing serious impact upon the contemporaneous society. Its development, most of the time, results in the lack of adequacy between work relationships experienced in real life and the legislations that rule them. The technological evolution has likewise affected the radio broadcast workers and journalists. On the other hand, there is not any legislative change in this sector, what makes this issue even more critical, considering the laws that rule these professions are coming close to their 30 years of publication. In the present study, it is intended to review these legislations, their practical use and the difficulties faced by the radio broadcasting companies and the newspaper companies, regarding the work agreements signed with employees that are part of the referred regulated professions, with the special work shift, with the issue salary versus copyright, with the placement of professionals within the activities described in-depth by the specific legislation and, yet, with the issue of the professional register. A lack of unison is verified between the current legislation and the technological reality present in the communication enterprises, which leads to the necessity of both change and pursuit for the ideal regulation, consonant with the contemporary modernity.
