Abstract

While the place that absorbs the narratives of the world, the journalistic field seems to be allowed to build, through specific protocols and rituals, references and viewpoints concerning various subjects, including those relating to the offer of content about environmental issues. The objective of this study is to identify the issues on environment that are most offered within four groups of websites: commercial media, non-governmental organizations, governmental organizations and websites specialized in environmental issues. The method is quantitative, based on research of literature and documents in 12 websites. The content analysis of the 1907 news, published between October 2011 and February 2012, in all vehicles analyzed of the four groups, points recurrent themes, disparity in volume of news among the different types of sites and the topics that are more addressed by each website, looking for similarities and differences between them.
