Os desafios na cobertura telejornalística da pandemia do novo coronavirus no Rio Grande do Norte: podcast documental. 2022. 22f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Comunicação Social - Publicidade e Propaganda), Departamento de Comunicação Social, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2022.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/45913The Covid-19 pandemic generated worldwide chaos, thousands of people lost their lives because of a virus discovered in December 2019 that spread across the world. In Brazil, the disease began to appear in March of the following year. Hospitals began to fill up and the death rate began to rise. Like other essential professions, press professionals played a key role in keeping the population aware of everything that was happening, informing how to prevent themselves, how the virus could be lethal and how to beat the pandemic. In view of this, the idea of ​​creating a podcast came up to show how four communication professionals dealt with news coverage, especially in Rio Grande do Norte. They were in the streets and newsrooms daily, overcoming the fear of taking the virus home and taking care to inform with quality. Some questions were asked and, to avoid physical contact, audios sent through a messaging app were collected and edited in podcast format, presented by the author of this work who was also on site during the pandemic as a street reporter.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/PandemiaPandemicImprensaPressCovidCovidPodcastPodcastbachelorThesis
