| Sumario: | 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 Porto 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 (Martins, 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. |
