摘要

本文介绍了对WhatsApp音频消息在2018年巴西总统选举中所起作用的调查结果，提出即时语音消息借用了无线电语言的元素。我们从一项更广泛的研究开始，这项研究是由巴西国家数字民主科学技术研究所进行的。该研究确定了一个由220个WhatsApp群组成的网络——所有这些群都有开放式链接——支持6名不同的候选人。这些组织通过与类似组织的联系，将数以千计的匿名个人资料放在一起，形成了一个庞大的网络。在2018年巴西选举期间(6月至10月)，共收集和下载了100多万条信息，其中包括9.8万段音频。我们在分享次数超过100次的音频中，选取18个发行量较大的音频(共出现3622次)进行提取和分析。无线电内容分析技术的使用指出了强有力的证据，即音频信息弥补了诸如亲密和口语化语言等无线电音素，从而加速了虚假宣传活动。

WhatsApp audios and the remediation of radio: Disinformation in Brazilian 2018 presidential election

This article brings the results of an investigation into the role of WhatsApp audio messages in the 2018 Brazilian presidential elections, proposing that instant voice messaging borrows elements from radio language. We started from a broader research, conducted by the Brazilian National Institute of Science and Technology in Digital Democracy (INCT.DD, in its Portuguese acronym), which identified a network composed of 220 WhatsApp groups – all of them with open-entry links – supporting six different candidates. Those groups put together thousands of anonymized profiles linked through connections to similar groups, configuring an extensive network. More than 1 million messages, including 98,000 audios, were gathered and downloaded during 2018 Brazilian electoral period (from June to October). We focused on eighteen audios with major circulation (totalling 3622 appearances) among the ones shared at least 100 times, which were extracted and analysed. The use of radio content analysis techniques pointed out strong evidence that audio messaging remediate radiophonic elements such as intimacy and colloquial language to accelerate disinformation campaigns.

期刊介绍： Radio Journal publishes critical analyses of radio and sound media across a variety of platforms, from broadcast to podcast and all in between. Articles focus on both historical and contemporary issues in sound-based journalism and media studies. We look for work that explores the production, circulation and reception of radio and creative soundwork, and encourage a wide range of international and interdisciplinary perspectives. Radio Journal welcomes scholarship from early career researchers as well as internationally renowned scholars. It also publishes reviews of recent publications in the field of radio and sound studies. Radio Journal is edited from the US and Australia and has an international scope. It is a refereed publication; all research articles undergo rigorous double-blind peer review. The editors will review other contributions. The process normally takes three months to complete.
