Abstract

This study purpose is to analyze the social role accorded by law to Brazilian communitarian radio stations as well as this model application, founded on the argument that broadcasters should be an alternative space for the promotion of citizenship and community culture. The aim is to discuss the social relationships built between these communication channels and the audience, from a sociological bias that regards the communitarian radios as agents who are able to intermediate a sociability which is associated to neighborhood relationships. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the reason why such stations often do not act by amplifying the voices of the community where it operates, but eventually adopt a programming model which repeats the ones adopted by commercial radios. This article, which is a result of my experience as a manager of a communitarian radio station in Belo Horizonte, is a part of my Master’s project for the Post-Graduation Program in Social Sciences at PUC Minas.
