Constructing Climate Change in the Americas

Abstract: This study examined the portrayal of climate change in four national newspapers from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and the United States. The results indicated that leading media in Brazil and the United States highlighted the policy progress being made to mitigate climate change and presented the issue in economic terms, whereas coverage in Argentina and Colombia portrayed the issue as being urgent and emphasized the catastrophic consequences of climate change.

“…The manner in which issues are presented or framed in the media affects the perceptions of the public [ 25 ]. Media coverage of environmental issues has been critiqued for lacking substance, adequate coverage and potential solutions [ 26 , 27 ].

“…A pessoa nunca está lá acompanhando o tempo todo, não se tem dinheiro para fazer isso, é caro para a gente e acho que pouquíssimos jornais têm correspondentes em vários países (jornalista 5). Zamith et al (2012), ao analisarem a mídia latino-americana, destacam que a cobertura midiática nesses países do Sul sobre questões ambientais, em geral, tem sido criticada por ser relativamente superficial, mais centrada nas fontes oficiais do que nos cientistas e por perder a oportunidade de incluir, nos textos divulgados, potenciais soluções ao problema.

“…Argumentamos que, por se tratar de questões complexas, caracterizadas por riscos, controvérsias e ambiguidades, à mídia cabe o importante papel de mediador (Anderson, 2009;Carvalho, 2010;Brüggemann & Engesser, 2014;Loose & Carvalho, 2015;Engesser & Brüggemann, 2016), oferecendo ao público formas simbólicas de representação da relação dos indivíduos com o fenômeno. A mídia tem, assim, a responsabilidade de tentar representar essas questões para o público relacionando-as às experiências da vida moderna , atribuindo significado e legitimidade ao problema (Zamith et al, 2012;Di Giulio et al, 2015).…”

“…Dotson, Jacobson, Kaid, and Carlton (2012) observed similar tendencies in Chilean newspapers. Moreover, contrarian voices are rare in Peruvian, Argentinean, and Colombian stories on global warming (Takahashi & Meisner, 2012;Zamith, Pinto, & Villar, 2012). In Europe, UK press have shifted focus toward potential solutions for limiting carbon emissions (Nerlich, Forsyth, & Clarke, 2012), while German press have created an impending sense of catastrophe by translating scientific hypotheses into facts (Weingart, Engels, & Pansegrau, 2000).…”
