Abstract

This study examines how the media communicate to society a sensitive subject: the environment; an issue with many aspects, often contradictory. News are determined by information sources. Characterize those used in environmental news provides a snapshot of how their sectors and interests define the knowledge assumed by society, which requires an analysis from the parameters of quality journalism. We have chosen two topics with important social movements: a genuinely conservationist topic, Doñana, and an economic topic, energy policy.
