JORNALISMO REGIONAL: uma análise de escolhas linguísticas no quadro “Conte sua história” da EPTV Sul de Minas

Abstract

This study addresses the use of language in regional journalism, analyzing episodes of the show Tell your story, shown by EPTV - Sul de Minas. The objective of the research is to reflect on the journalist's linguistic choices in interview situations and dialogue with the community. To this end, four episodes of the aforementioned situation were analyzed, in relation to the use of the standard norm of the Portuguese language, the use of regionalisms and colloquiality. This work was prepared through an approach based on a descriptive analysis, in which, upon observing the episodes selected for the study, it was found that the journalist used words that gave greater proximity to the interviewee or due to difficulty, as a result of of the discrepancy between the language practiced in Brazil and the standard established in good usage manuals. It is important to highlight, however, that elaborate language was not used, remaining accessible to the population.
