| Sumario: | It is essential to discuss the role of the media as one of the main debate forums in democratic societies. This research analyzes the relationship between citizenship and radio. Our intention was to comprehend how the radio contributes to the understanding of the world, which is crucial to the formation of opinions concerning pertinent issues to the citizen’s duty. For this, we studied the programming guides of some of Lisbon`s and Brasilia’s radios, in 2011 and 2012, and also interviewed their directors. In addition to that, focus groups were conducted in the context of different social organizations, in order to understand the relationship between citizens and the radio. In general, we have noticed that the radio still has a great civic potential, but currently, its programming does not contribute much to the stimulation of an effective citizenship. |
