Reseña del libro "Olympics in Rio 2016 in 3+ minutes to VOA News - Sonny Side of Sports: How I would accomplish the job of reporting on the preparations for the Olympic (en Inglés)"
As Rio prepared for the 2016 Olympic Games, major critical issues threatened the event right from the start, from the health system, pollution, recession, mobility, the avalanche of political scandals top-down from the very Presidency, the investigation of the astronomical money expenditures, the gentrification of several areas of the city, the building of tunnels, subways stations, Light Vehicles on Track, security (in the wake of escalated robberies, drug trafficking wars, and the threat of a terrorist attack) - each area was a major and critical obstacle on its own that threatened to jeopardize the event as a whole. How was I to accomplish the job of reporting on the preparations for the Olympics in Rio in only 3+ minutes?My answer to this bold question was: the Chronicle language. To explain my reasoning behind this choice, here is the true history of the origin of the Chronicle genre, which enabled me to capture the preparations for the 2016 Rio Olympics in only 3+ minutes for each Sonny Side of Sports radio show.Disclaimer: Although the content of this book is a collectanea of radio show reports brodcasted by Voice of America - Broadcasting Board of Governors U.S. A (VOA), all the information and comments are of responsibility of the author and were not created or endorsed by VOA.
