Descrição
Resumo:This article presents an overview of studies on Environmental Journalism in Brazil through the mapping and analysis of theses and dissertations on the subject that are registered in the CAPES Bank of Theses in the period from 1987 to 2010. With a qualitative approach, a descriptive analysis of the abstracts of the studies was performed, with the goal of identifying subjects, theoretical-methodological background, empirical objects and the concept of Environmental Journalism; for the preparation of percentages and charts, we used quantitative analysis. The detailing of the 101 abstracts found allowed us to detect in what region there is a higher stimulus and interest in the area, the most used referential, the most recurrent gaps, among other aspects that characterize the state-of-the-art studies. Besides the contributions on what is Environmental Journalism and how is it being investigated in the country, we have verified that the definition of this expression is not clear not even among the researchers themselves.
