"Combining perspectives from media studies and political ecology, this book analyses socially constructed news regarding three environmental conflicts in South America. In recent decades, South American political administrations have tied national economies to neo-extractive development strategies, ...creating not only vulnerabilities to global commodity boom and bust pricing cycles, but also to conflict regarding environmental and cultural degradation from extraction activities. Environmental contestations among indigenous peoples, environmental and social NGOs, state actors, and extraction industries receive media attention, but how these disputes are covered has implications for understandings of media performance in democratizing nations. The authors examine three case studies of environmental contestation in a region that is simultaneously vulnerable to the effects of climate change, and yet has become once again dependent on commodity exportation to industrializing and industrialized nations for economic benefit and social development strategies."

" ... este documento ... busca aportar varias reflexiones al periodismo de investigación impactado por la era digital, en un contexto como el latinoamericano. Las incógnitas y los desafíos que yacen en este reto se presentan en las siguientes páginas, a través de ejemplos mundiales y latinoamer...icanos. El texto considera las bases mismas del oficio, el contexto en el que este se desarrolla y la manera en que periodistas en diversos puntos del globo han entendido la innovación de las tecnologías recientes para potenciar su forma de ver el mundo, su forma de hacer reportería y de relacionarse con las audiencias. Las ideas presentadas en este manual buscan servir de aporte, siendo conscientes de que apenas nos encontramos en los albores de la era digital y es mucho lo que falta por recorrer. Es fácil predecir que en ese camino se decantarán muchas cosas que hoy son fascinantes. Con el tiempo, algunas de ellas se verán como obsoletas. Es por eso que la apuesta conceptual de este documento es por aquellos aspectos que como resultado de la era digital ya están generando cambios en la forma como se hace el periodismo, prácticas que a juzgar por sus tempranos resultados, ya están generando una identidad de lo que será el periodismo en este milenio."

"In 2021, ARTICLE 19 set out to make sometimes invisible practices more visible, building on our existing programmes on the safety of women journalists worldwide. We undertook original research globally and specifically in six countries, three in Asia (Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka) and three in ...Latin America (Brazil, Chile, and Paraguay), all of which ARTICLE 19 is publishing separately, guided by the questions: What might feminist approaches to the protection of journalists look like, and what benefits might they bring? Our research findings form the basis of this report, which aims to: explore how feminist practices have been, are being, and can be applied to improve all women journalists' safety worldwide; bridge international legal and policy frameworks on the safety of journalists with the practical approaches being adopted on the ground; and catalyse a conversation about how - together - we can move towards feminist approaches to the safety of journalists. From national organisations to grassroots networks, this report documents women's monumental efforts to make structural changes, tackle entrenched patterns of gender-based discrimination and violence, and enhance the safety of women journalists. The initiatives showcased here are a testament to the creativity and resilience of those working on the feminist frontlines." (Introduction)
