A devastação da Amazônia brasileira e a criação das agendas cívicas: um comparativo das coberturas jornalísticas digitais na Folha de S.Paulo, no The New York Times e no The Guardian

Abstract

The main objective of this dissertation is to investigate, in a comparative perspective, the digital journalistic narratives present in Folha de S.Paulo, The New York Times and The Guardian, aiming to show the similarities and differences between the media agendas of these media in the process of inclusion of the theme and speeches about fires and deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon forest in order to convene and position its audience towards a civic agenda, which is understood as the repertoire of speeches, enunciations, expressions, ideas, opinions, images and products, which the media assumes on themes or events about public and government policies to guarantee and promote the autonomy of citizens in a Democratic State of Law. Therefore, the execution of this investigation was anchored in the methodology of Content Analysis, quantitative and qualitative. The results show that a media polyphony reveals the silencing of the voices of traditional Amazonian peoples and communities, such as family farmers, artisanal fishermen, foresters, riverine peoples, labourers and workers in general and housewives, for example. Another discovery of this research is the invisibility of themes such as the loss of fruit and medicinal trees, the deaths and injuries of wild animals, the lack of governance on Amazonian highways and social inequalities.
