Radio Communication: Production, Transmission, and Content Types

Radio: Production and Transmission

Radio: Production and transmission of information in the form of acoustic messages addressed to a collective public and disseminated through electromagnetic waves.

The Radio Message

Word: The radio message is always oral. A brief radio message requires clarity in pronunciation, use of repetitions, etc. Because it is an oral discourse, it is more agile and spontaneous than that of the press, requiring the listener to be natural. It must also have a suggestive and expressive language, compensating for the absence of visual imagery. The colloquial expression is appreciated to approximate the listener.

Radio Information Genres

Information: We use the same genres as those of the Press: news stories, etc.

Diario Spoken Chronic or Informative

This is the longest duration program. It is done in prime time, and its content is separated into sections such as sports, etc.

Boletín Information

This is the shortest duration format. It summarizes the most important news and information issued each hour.

Flash

A brief and urgent news item that the station sometimes includes, stopping any program, and which has great relevance.

Magazine Programs

Magazine programs: A program made up of a variety of mixed contents. It includes interviews, discussions, competitions, etc., all coordinated by the presenter. These are long programs that give more importance to listener participation.

Critical Review Elements (Bibliographic/Exposition)

Crisis of Social Realism in Literature

Crisis of social realism: There was a decline of social realism. The new literature renewed the structure, form, and language, leading to what is called experimental literature. Literature abandons the idea of being a tool for politics, focusing instead on works based on personal experience and states of consciousness.
