Audiovisual journalism and democracy

In 2016, the researchers of the TeleJor Network launched the fifth volume of the Audiovisual Journalism Collection, dealing with the relations between Television Journalism and Power. Brazil was then experiencing moments of great turmoil and political uncertainties; the organizers Cárlida Emerim, Cristiane Finger and Flávio Porcello and different authors, then go beyond the limits of political relations to think about the powers of television journalism. They emphasize in the work that power has reflections on consumption, education, social behavior and above all on the daily life of the population that seeks information, mainly through audiovisual. Throughout several other editions, this interface between journalistic information in video and the universe of politics and the city was present in the works of researchers from the network, committed to television journalism as a field of knowledge, professional practices, and teaching, research and extension. In 2021, this path of investigations and collective publications highlighted the role of "Telejournalism as a Human Right, with three works: Theories of Telejournalism as a Human Right" (volume 11); "Human rights on screens: social claims and representations of meaning narrated by television journalism" (volume 12); "Television journalism and human rights: Research and experience reports" (volume 13). Five years later, the importance of Television Journalism - understood as the production and offer on screens of information of public interest - for Democracy, and vice versa, becomes even more central
