Invisible faces and silent voices in media representations of the climate crisis
Este é um artigo de opinião escrito por Carlota Houart, a 06 de outubro de 2020 para o Alice News. O texto propõe uma reflexão crítica sobre como a media mainstream pode moldar as perceções dominantes da crise climática, das pessoas e grupos envolvidos nas conversas sobre o clima global.
“In January 2020, Associated Press published a photo of four young European climate activists at the World Economic Forum in Davos. A wave of indignation ensued, quickly prompting the news agency to correct its piece, when a shocking revelation was made: the original photo was not of four, but of five girls standing side by side. Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate was cropped out of the photo, and no mention of her could be found in the text that came with it. The most striking difference between Nakate and the other girls? She is African, and black”.
