Approaches on the journalistic region and the media region

Abstract

In the current capitalist model of urbanization in the Amazon, populations, often migrants, occupy places determined by the structures of industrial and agricultural production, which is based on the raw material from fauna, flora and mineral and water resources of “ amazon region ”(BECKER, 2004, p. 14). However, the meaning of “Amazônia” is a concept that has changed in Journalism specifically, based on the actions of the first “geojournalism” portal (ROCHA, 2015; FLÔRES, 2017; SUBIRES-MANCERA, 2018), an innovative journalistic model. The InfoAmazonia portal, object of this article, was recognized, in 2013, as an innovation network in Latin America, as a finalist organization of the García Marquez Periodism Award. The portal is supported, economically and technically, by contracts with organizations such as Earth Journalism Research (EJR) and International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) and supported, legally, by the Amazon Conservation Team and the Centro de Estudios Jurídicos y Sociales (Dejusticia).
