Reportagem multimídia “Capsuladas mulheres que ressignificaram o uso da pílula anticoncepcional”

Abstract

This work aimed to create a multimedia report in order to tell, through profiles of Brazilian women, how the most popular feminine medicine in the world is currently used: the birth control pill. The report involves multimedia content to cover the subject. I used authors such as Diniz (2012) and Brito (2013) as a theoretical framework related to the topic addressed. When dealing with digital journalism, I used authors such as Jenkins (2009) and Lévy (2010) and Longhi (2010). To prepare the product, I first carried out bibliographic research and, afterwards, I searched for characters in order to find reports of Brazilian women who took the medicine to then conduct the interviews. The main objective was to tell the reports of women who reframed the purpose of the contraceptive pill in Brazil. The texts by Lage (2003) and Duarte (2009) helped me when conducting the interviews. Regarding the narrative style, I chose to follow a more subjective line of writing. The final product was hosted on a website created for free by Wix and features multimedia content related to the theme. To this end, the report is divided into six parts: (1) A brief background on the use of the pill today; (2) The industrialization of female sexuality (Freedom capsules); (3) The contraceptive: doubts and certainties; (4) Endomulheres: when the pill is a matter of necessity; (5) A risky choice: contraceptives and trans women; and (6) For some, an option, for all, a right. As a result, we have a product that will remain available to society and that is also a record of stories in constant development and can be easily accessed by a large number of people.
