| Resumo: | This article presents the preliminary results from a larger study effort about the epistemology of environmental journalism. The main objective was to verify the origin and the support of the epistemological aspects of journalism dedicated to the environment. We present the proposal that drove this study and, specifially, the analysis carried out on one of the barely incorporated assumptions in the environmental coverage in Brazil until now, which is the idea of precaution. The analysis is guided by bibliographic research, with a descriptive-qualitative approach. As a result, we identifid that the literature on environmental journalism deals little with anticipating risks and damages, even with the advance of science in terms of predictions. In conclusion, the incorporation of the precautionary principle is necessary for a society in which predominate the risks produced by the humanity itself. |
