Abstract

Brazilian environmental coverage, in general, has been marked by a lack of depth and contextualization about the phenomena that cover the major issues of this editorial today, such as: aggressive deforestation and land grabbing in the main Brazilian biomes, namely , Amazon rainforest and Pantanal; advance of the agricultural frontier towards these geographic spaces in an uncontrolled way, occupying them in the form of soybean monoculture and pastures; global warming and climate change, as a result of the annihilation of native vegetation systems; sensationalist coverage of weather phenomena; contamination of water resources, even the great Guarani Aquifer and Amazon System systems; lack of specific training for professionals who cover the May Ambiente agenda, with the consequent lack of in-depth coverage of the facts, among other factors. To analyze the context of environmental coverage, we interviewed journalist Adriana Menezes, who takes as an example the environmental disaster that occurred in Mariana, Minas Gerais, in November 2015.
