Abstract

This monograph has as its theme Coronavirus and information in the Land of Longevity: a case study of Tua Rádio Veranense. Its general objective is to analyze the quality of information in times of coronavirus in the city of Veranópolis, known as the Land of Longevity, focusing on the Tua Rádio Veranense website, and seeking to understand how the platform delivered information about the pandemic that devastated the world in 2020. In order for the general objective to be achieved, some specific objectives were listed, such as: reflecting on the importance of quality journalism in its community activities; verify the contribution of the Tua Rádio website, as an information vehicle, for the prevention of coronavírus, among its main risk group; contribute to the study of integrated media, in the case of radio and website, as a support for the survival of Journalism in times of accelerated social transformations. In the same way, four hypotheses were raised that are linked to the objectives: the website, which gathers the contents disseminated by the radio, demonstrates well fulfilling its objectives of providing quality information, within its three institutional precepts: credibility, impartiality, suitability; the dissemination of news about the coronavirus is frequent and focuses on informative and preventive aspects, without sensationalism; the website offers additional content to the radio program; as for the target audience, the site does not reach a significant part of the elderly public, which uses other media, such as traditional radio most of the time. The present work is a research with methodology focused on bibliographic research, followed by content analysis focused on the coronavirus. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
