Presented by: Beatriz Sprada Mira, Communication and Media Studies PhD<\/i><\/div>\n
How can journalism help communities tell their own environmental stories? In this talk, Beatriz Sprada Mira shares insights from her fieldwork along Brazil\u2019s Paran\u00e1 coast\u2014home to the largest remaining stretch of the critically endangered Atlantic Forest. Through interviews with 33 residents and journalists, newsroom observations, and community dialogues, Sprada Mira examined how environmental issues are represented in local news and how culture shapes both storytelling and audience engagement.<\/div>\n
Her findings reveal deep gaps in media coverage\u2014stories often focused only on tourism or catastrophe\u2014yet also a strong desire among local communicators to reclaim their narratives. With support from CLLAS and other partners, Sprada Mira created a community advisory board and co-developed a Culturally Situated Environmental Journalism Guide<\/i> to help journalists produce more inclusive, representative, and place-based reporting.<\/div>\n
Join us as Sprada Mira discusses how centering local knowledge and cultural identity can transform environmental journalism and amplify the voices of communities most impacted by ecological change.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
