Resumen
Descripción
El objetivo de este trabajo es discutir el abordaje del periodismo sobre el uso de agrotóxicos como situación generadora de injusticia ambiental. Para realizar tal reflexión, nos basamos en la serie de reportajes de Zero Hora publicados en diciembre de 2016 sobre la contaminación de productos de Ceasa, en Porto Alegre, por pesticidas prohibidos en Rio Grande do Sul (Brasil) o utilizados por encima del límite previsto por ley. Partimos de la concepción de Acselrad (2010) sobre justicia ambiental. Se trata de una noción que remite a las dinámicas sociopolíticas, pues comprende conflictos originarios de la violación de derechos de las comunidades humanas por el uso insostenible del ambiente. Para evaluar la repercusión de las injusticias en los medios, recurrimos a los presupuestos del Periodismo Ambiental, perspectiva que defiende la función movilizadora del periodismo a partir de una mirada compleja sobre los fenómenos (Girardi et al., 2012) a partir de un análisis descriptivo y cualitativo (Martins, 2001). Entre los resultados se señala que la serie no incorpora una visión sistémica del problema, ignorando los impactos de los agrotóxicos en toda la cadena productiva y en los ecosistemas
The objective of this article is to discuss the approach of journalism on the use of pesticides as a situation generating environmental injustice. In order to carry out such reflection, we are based on the series of Zero Hora reports published in December 2016 on contamination of Ceasa products in Por to Alegre by pesticides banned in Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) or used above the limit established by law. We start from the concept of Acselrad (2010) on environmental justice. It is a notion that refers to sociopolitical dynamics, since it involves conflicts originating from the violation of the rights of human communities through the unsustainable use of the environment. In order to evaluate the repercussion of the injustices in the media, we have recourse to the assumptions of Environmental Journalism, a perspective that defends the mobilizing function of journalism from a complex view on the phenomena (Girardi et al., 2012) from a descriptive and qualitative analysis (Mar tins, 2001). Among the results, it is pointed out that the series does not incorporate a systemic view of the problem, ignoring the impacts of agrochemicals throughout the production chain and ecosystems
