Comunicação de risco de inundação: uma análise do conteúdo de jornais de cidades paraenses (2009-2010)

Abstract

This work has as objective the analysis of journalistic content as printed (2009-2010) of Para cities of Santarém and Maraba, which faces floods annually during the Amazon winter (December to June). The aim is to analyze how risk is communicated in local newspapers throughout the stages of risk management. Is there effective communication of risk? For this, the methodology is based on the content analysis in order to investigate the form, content, number and memory media of newspapers in Gauteng and Lower Amazon (Santarém) and Tocantins Mail (Marabá) established in temporality. The main theoretical framework as a basis for research is linked to the concepts of Risk Communication, Content Analysis and Risk Management, found in the works of Di Giulio (2008), Bardin (2009) and Jungles (2012) respectively. In comparing both papers, it was observed that the JSBA a higher amount of publications and better content than JCT, but the form was more consistent in the second paper. When the memory media, Correio do Tocantins introduced the element of “mediatic oblivion”, featuring the absence of publications on the subject for a long time, while the JSBA addressed the theme in almost every month. Therefore, it was found that in 2009, the newspapers were risk communication and not risk communication. But after the extreme event experienced in 2009, within one year, risk communication, alerting the population before the occurrence of the disaster went on to win their first attempts in the Journal of Santarém and Lower Amazon, to the detriment of the Courier Journal Tocantins, which continued to show the same results.
