Relações entre o programa Itatiaia Patrulha e as matrizes do jornalismo popular e do jornalismo policial.

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the relationships between the radio program Itatiaia Patrulha and the matrices of popular journalism and police journalism. The research included the analysis of editions from January 8th to 12th, 2024, broadcast on radio Itatiaia FM 95.7, without any interference or specific occasion. Considering that the program in question focuses on personal dramas, cases of violence, murders, and various tragedies, some analytical operators were chosen, such as interviews, aesthetics of police journalism, and overexposure to violence. In this process, we sought to base ourselves on the concept of popular journalism and police journalism so that, when analyzing the episodes, it was possible to understand what communicative strategies were used in Itatiaia Patrulha. In this way, we were able to guide the content and discussions present in the five episodes and understand how the points that attracted the most attention come close to sensationalism, moralistic discourses, the over-dimensioning of the facts, and other elements that make up the program's police aesthetic. The results of this work indicate that popular newspapers seek to strengthen their proximity to the audience. To this end, they strive to punctuate events through colloquial language, with the presence of popular sayings and clichés, in addition to containing speeches close to melodrama. Additionally , it is noted that police journalism relies on a descriptive language of facts with an emphasis on stories, facilitated by the use of sensationalist elements, catchphrases, clichéd phrases, and repetition of information.
