Declaration of Principles must for those who bet on the radio as a tool for change
Who can refer to the radio without enthusiasm? Ideal media still has the word, in every sense of sound and meaning, as one of the main ingredients to concoct your message.
not yet determined where thought begins and ends the word. Life, thought and speech are intimately related, as stated by Fernando Pessoa: "thinking is to live and feel it is more than food from thinking. " On the radio, think, feel and live independently, with, words, sound effects and music, amalgam, and articulation, so important to give life to the message and make it captivating, reviver.
In our modern world there are many opportunities for reflection, it sometimes seems, even in times when work allows a pause, we looked more stunning than reflection. Yet the radio, as the book, you can perform the miracle of reaching our consciousness by the word (...)
Male, symbolization and word, closely linked in the history of culture survive on the radio. The language of the first men and today, through the magic of this invention is still the spoken word, oral expression, speech, said its full flavor, which is heard and is capable of provoking the hear thoughts and emotion, evocation and interpretation. (...)
What has been the radio?: Information, recreation?, "A cop, or mass?," A way of training or media? What ship?: Vertical posts?; Could talk through the radio?, Could educate?
Radio has been an information and recreation, but also a way of escape, of overcrowding and alienation rather than via social media and more messages were sent through the vertical than horizontal radio. Not enough emphasis has been placed in dialogue with the audience and feedback communication has not been taken into account the training and education of an audience that has multiplied in geometric progression through the years.
Undoubtedly, this should be done without forgetting what conditions the language of radio, its advantages and disadvantages have not taken advantage of its favorable conditions to serve the population.
If the word becomes critical in accurate communication of the message, what happens when the radio must be coordinated with sound effects, pauses, music, a message can not re-read, or listen?; " the word loses quality?, "losing strength?
in a good word radio show and shine is crimped standing by the other elements of the radio message: the word in a song, the word in a story, in different roles, accomplishes the goal of communicating in the same language, and in accordance with the life experience of the group being addressed. (...) However
still raises the same questions: radio just for one sector of the population?, "radio for a select group?," radio for a majority of people who do not read or write and urgently needs education? (...) Radio for whom? and radio "for what? How do radio, how to communicate now with millions and millions of Hispanic Third properly? and how to convert the mass communication media?
reiterate the statement: radio for all communications to be able to continue to transform the world, and become more human, living not for the few, not for small groups but for everyone. Radio that addresses the major problems of our being in this world, and remain in a society where all participate: men and women, rich and poor, every aspiring to a better life. Radio for freedom, but the word has lost its true meaning, radio for harmony and democracy, not for mass communication radio, radio for social communication. (...)
to illuminate our world with grace, creativity and irony, wit and genius of the art features to be incorporated into the creation of programs. Through education through art would be achieved "humanize the will of the people" (...)
Mario Kaplun, in his book Production of Radio Programs, not only on production also illustrates the problem concerns the recipient of the message, and the purpose processor, cultural and educational radio. (...)
need to Kaplún from a series of redefinitions that would make possible "culture is identified with life, rather than the museum. Culture is not the preserve of specialists. Culture is what is a man, which serves the community to build their own social and human conscience culture is to better understand the world itself. " According
Kaplún educational radio is defined broadly as all issues that seek "the transmission of values, human development, integral human development in their communities, those which aim to raise awareness, stimulate debate and make each man in an active agent of transformation of its natural, economic and social.
educational radio
So, not only be done through specialized stations, with static programs, unattractive, but through radio soap operas, popular forums, news and music programs, and many other formats intuit that creativity. Paul D. Boyd, cited by Kaplan, says: "radio, through increased penetration in our country appears to be the best solution to promote education and popular culture." As noted in a UNESCO study, "the radio, advanced communication only technique that has really built the Third World, which has expanded widely culturized. With the miniaturization and transistorización, allowing very low cost, the radio is called to reveal more and more as an instrument well suited to the cultures based on oral transmission and written values. "
According to figures Kaplún scoring, 61 percent of the population Latin America listens to the radio, and in this percentage are the most humble and most needy, most deprived of education. (...) Education to cultivate more intelligence than memory. In a constant exercise of intellect and will, a liberating education to return to man his own humanity. Bordenave finally notes that "the greatest triumph of this type of education is awareness of one's dignity, self-worth as a person, the essential freedom that man has to be fully realized as such in their free delivery to other men '.
Hence we must start from a cultural and educational radio, a radio processing, and without entering fully into the subject of production, it could list some of the problems involved is aimed more specifically to basics for us, the word.
level of speech is the basis of radio language, precisely the key to the educational importance of radio is that if we all talk, just write from the beginning of the scriptures today. (...)
speech by writing, voice modulation is lost, and the sigh, the tears, the wonder that only the most prominent literary evidence remain. The radio, like roses, have a precarious tenure in the air, but usually like them, an unforgettable message, provided it becomes a witness of significance and beauty.
Radio can present us a series of blooms, as if we transmitted the message body of the actors, and television, for example, it can accentuate the living presence of what is expressed with the aid of the effects of sound and music. The radio
no writing, but they do have their messages score, punctuated by musical bridges, and the background music helps in the climax or place within a framework.
In radio, and poetry, using images, metaphors and all elements evocative, intense, emotional. (...) The message must be configured, and enclosing within its structure the most significant and suggestive, in order to fulfill the role of make believe, and to deepen the awareness of those who listen.
As in literary prose, the primary role is to convey the thoughts in a logical and clear, without disclosing function forget (...)
Radio is oral, the radio transmits its message both speaking media, precisely because this may be the means of balance, that will enrich your vocabulary, avoid improprieties, which disclosed the educated norm, without formalities or stiffness.
The reality is powerful. Imagination also bridging between reality and fiction to drive from what is to what might be, it should be. If we forget the reality fall into madness, if we forget our impoverished world of fiction is not subject to our preference.
radio moves between reality and fiction (do not forget that the opposite of fiction does not mean truth, but actually report.)
Language and speech, dream and reality, life-giving words to a radio message that educates, transforms, more firmly insert your messages without closing the wealth of cultural differences, are the concrete proposals for a serving radio community, and each of which comprise it.
