The (non) coverage of environmental risks: a debate on the silencing of journalism

This article by researchers Eloisa Loose (UNINTER), Ângela Camana and Roberto Belmonte (UFRGS) proposes a debate about the role of journalism in giving visibility to environmental risks. After reviewing the literature on the subject and discussing examples of coverage of environmental threats in the news, it verifies that there is indeed much "silencing" in journalism, as it concludes that the same values that guide the construction of news prevent the emergency of a journalism committed to risk awareness. It then argues that changes in society should also be applied in the logics of journalism.
