Lixo nos mares: uma análise da cobertura jornalística sobre o tema, realizada por uma TV pública brasileira
Summary
This study characterized microplastic contamination in freshwater zooplankton communities, finding that multiple zooplankton taxa ingested particles spanning the range from 10 to 500 µm. Body burden varied with feeding mode, with generalist omnivores accumulating higher particle loads than more selective grazers, suggesting that feeding strategy influences microplastic exposure risk.
Marine pollution by solid waste, mainly plastics, has been shown to be an environmental problem of increasing magnitude and that demands urgent action to combat it.In this sense, environmental journalism can contribute to information and education processes, when carried out in a clear, continuous manner and aligned with scientific research.This work intended to analyze the journalistic coverage carried out by the Padre Anchieta Foundation -TV Cultura, from the state of So Paulo, in the period of 2016 to 2018, on the topic of "marine litter".To make it possible, a survey was carried out of the journalistic stories produced and published on the subject, in the years mentioned.The second phase included, quantitative (time on air and broadcast frequency) and qualitative analyzes, approaching both content and broad questions, established in the methodology, which will allow a discussion not only of the journalistic stories themselves, but also the role of environmental journalism and public television as social agents that can stimulate deeper debates in societies.
