2021, Radiofonias – Revista de Estudos em Mídia Sonora

What is the role of a college radio in the pandemic? What content should be guaranteed in these stations? How are they produced and emitted within the framework of the isolation measures provided for the epidemiological situation? This article analyzes these issues based on the experience of the radio station of the National University of Avellaneda (Argentina), Radio UNDAV, during the Covid-19 emergency. It starts from different theoretical contributions around the profile, identity and role of college radio to later describe and analyze the actions implemented by the Media Directorate, which is the area that coordinates and manages radio and television in the public University of Avellaneda, in pursuit of the realization and broadcasting of a special program to inform, raise awareness and provide service while guaranteeing the dissemination of cultural and educational content from the university media in the pandemic.
