Alternatives to tackle climate crisis. How do non-hegemonic vehicles defend the common goods?
Abstract
This article aims, from the perspective of Journalism studies, to discuss how the representation of solutions or responses associated with the climate crisis can help to sustain or break with the causes of environmental destruction, especially in the context of recovery from the covid-19 pandemic. For this, it analyzes the climate coverage of Colabora and Conexão Planeta in 2020, vehicles considered nonhegemonic dedicated to environmental issues. Based on the Critical Discourse Analysis, it seeks to verify what forms of confronting the climate crisis they make visible. Although the studied vehicles do not follow the logic of mainstream journalism, it is identified that the responses presented in the coverage of climate change in the analyzed vehicles do not always systematically and/or forcefully question the hegemonic system, based on the exploration of nature, offering palliative solutions which contribute to maintaining the status quo.
