Poranga marandúa: Manual de redação do jornalismo indígena

Ronda Alta - Terra Indígena Serrinha, RS: Articulação Brasileira de Indígenas Jornalistas (Abrinjor); Instituto Kaingáng (INKA) (2026), 117 pp.

"Trazemos, neste documento, muito além do conhecimento técnico profissional no jornalismo. Compreendemos que a universidade nos forma tecnicamente para atuação no jornalismo, porém o território – principal objetivo de luta dos povos indígenas – também é uma universidade, nos formando co ... mo sujeitos etnicamente posicionados nos espaços da vida social. Portanto, este manual de redação de jornalismo indígena emerge com o objetivo de contribuir para: (1) nos colocar, enquanto coletividade organizada, dentro do campo de disputa da comunicação como agentes especializados na temática que diz respeito aos nossos povos; (2) orientar os não indígenas sobre práticas, conceitos e abordagens ao cobrir ou dirimir sobre temática indígena no espaço da imprensa e da mídia como um todo. Este manual se insere como um dos principais produtos elaborados pela Articulação Brasileira de Indígenas Jornalistas (Abrinjor), composta por mais de 60 indígenas de mais de 40 povos. A Abrinjor tem a missão de fortalecer a presença dos indígenas jornalistas no campo da comunicação para enfrentar o racismo, a invisibilidade e a representação inadequada dos povos indígenas e para ampliar nossa participação, valorização e respeito no mercado de trabalho, nos espaços universitários, governamentais e de decisão do jornalismo brasileiro, construindo uma rede qualificada de profissionais, vinculada ao movimento indígena, que assegurem uma comunicação livre de visões coloniais e comprometida com as pautas dos nossos povos. [...] Cabe ressaltar, por fim, que o documento está organizado em dois grandes blocos: um histórico-conceitual e outro orientador-recomendativo, os quais se desdobram em seis partes. Nas seções (1), (2), (3) e (4), que compõem o bloco histórico-conceitual, são abordados a organização social do movimento indígena brasileiro, a distinção, a relevância e os marcos históricos da comunicação nesse contexto, culminando no detalhamento da compreensão do jornalismo indígena no Brasil, concebido sobretudo a partir dessa rede de profissionais. Já nas seções (5) e (6), correspondentes ao bloco orientador-recomendativo, apresentam-se diretrizes para a condução de trabalhos jornalísticos junto aos povos e territórios indígenas, além de um conjunto de verbetes que orientam quanto à forma adequada de tratamento das pautas relacionadas aos povos indígenas."

Climate Disinformation in Pakistan: Silencing Indigenous Peoples’ Voice

Humera Qasim Khan, Waqas Naeem

Islamabad: International Media Support (IMS); Institute for Research, Advocacy and Development (IRADA); Mediastan (2025), vii, 39 pp.

"The study identifies five distinct forms of climate disinformation in Pakistan: alarmist and sensationalised content, which exaggerates climate impact to provoke fear, confusion and emotional reactions rather than informed understanding; conspiracy-driven narratives that suggest hidden agendas or e ... xternal actors manipulating climate event, undermining trust in institutions and science; denial and delay narratives where scientific consensus is rejected or inaction is promoted by downplaying risks and questioning the urgency of climate response; oversimplified or false solutions that promote misleading or ineffective fixes to distract from evidence-based mitigation and adaptation strategies; religious fatalism, which frames climate change effects as predetermined or divinely inevitable, reducing perceived human responsibility and discouraging action.hich frames climate change effects as predetermined or divinely inevitable, reducing perceived human responsibility and discouraging action. The study also confirms findings from literature about structural weaknesses within Pakistan’s news media environment, which include a lack of consistent news coverage of climate issues, limited scientific literacy among journalists, editorial incentives favouring sensationalism over accuracy and the absence of systematic fact-checking protocols. These gaps, exacerbated by platform algorithms that reward virality over veracity, create a situation where climate-related disinformation may spread unchecked. The report shows that the climate disinformation impacts IPs in five ways: first, it affects community safety and Indigenous livelihoods by creating a false sense of security or conversely unnecessary panic among IP communities that may lead to damage, displacement and poor adaptation and mitigation practices; second, disinformation related to natural disasters generates fear, uncertainty, confusion and psychological distress among vulnerable IP communities, creating emotional trauma and diminishing their self-confidence in their ability to respond to climate risks; third, climate-related disinformation erodes trust of IPs in scientific forecasts, institutional information and the official responses of state authorities, as viral disinformation messages and rumours fill the information vacuum created by the absence of clear, timely and accessible climate communication; fourth, it discourages Indigenous ecological knowledge and diminishes the credibility of local adaptation methods by painting these methods as primitive, unscientific or outdated; fifth, climate disinformation intensifies the existing exclusion, marginalisation and invisibility of IPs in climate policy frameworks and climate governance mechanisms, silencing their voices and forcibly transforming them from custodians of community resilience to subjects of pity or blame within the policy and media discourses. The study underscores that climate disinformation is not an isolated digital problem but a systemic governance challenge. It undermines trust in science and institutions, weakens public engagement and delays adaptation efforts. This crisis of information integrity demands coordinated action across sectors. The report offers the following recommendations for key stakeholders to address climate disinformation and its impact on Indigenous peoples and communities in Pakistan. UN bodies should support the government in integrating climate information integrity in national climate and digital governance frameworks and ensure Pakistan’s compliance with relevant international conventions and declarations on the rights of Indigenous Peoples. The relevant ministries of the federal and provincial governments should embed information integrity into Pakistan’s climate governance frameworks, including the National Action Plan and Nationally Determined Contributions, to ensure coordinated and accountable action on climate misinformation. iNGOs should facilitate the creation of a National Climate Fact-Checking Alliance linking journalists, researchers, media organisations and civil society for real-time verification and rapid debunking of false climate narratives. CSOs should establish community-based verification networks, conduct grassroots awareness campaigns, promote digital safety and information verification capacity building for IPs and document and amplify local climate knowledge. Media should set up climate news beats within newsrooms, ensure the presence of trained journalists for environmental reporting, institutionalise fact-checking protocols, provide training for journalists on climate science and disaster reporting and adopt ethical editorial standards for coverage of climate emergencies. Technology companies should implement algorithmic accountability measures to curb the viral spread of climate disinformation, promote verified climate information through priority ranking and contextual labels, collaborate with fact-checkers to monitor regional-language climate content for falsehoods and support rapid-response climate information alerts for Pakistan during climate-induced extreme weather events. Indigenous communities should engage in peer-led digital literacy programmes that build capacity to recognise and counter climate disinformation and collaborate with independent media to document."

Epistemología de la comunicación comunitaria: Reflexiones y experiencias desde/con los pueblos

Edizon León Castro (coord.)

Quito: Ediciones Abya Yala; CIESPAL, 2da ed. (2025), 335 pp.

"Entendemos a la comunicación comunitaria más allá de los medios de comunicación, desde las mediaciones culturales que reconocen formas de narrar, de saber, de habitar y estar en el mundo y que han sido históricamente silenciadas, faveladas y excluidas. Esta publicación apuesta a una polifoní ... a de voces, pero sobre todo de reflexiones de experiencias, es una toma de posición, un acto colectivo de resistencia epistémica frente a los modelos y narrativas de comunicación hegemónica. La comunicación comunitaria, tal como se teje en este libro es una práctica de vida, que conlleva una ética del cuidado, una forma política y espiritual de habitar el mundo-territorio. Es comunicación que brota de la memoria viva de los pueblos, de sus luchas, de sus sueños, de sus afectos, de sus cuerpos, y de su comunicación-relación con la tierra y los espíritus. Esta comunicación se expresa en la interpretación de los sueños de los pueblos amazónicos con la toma de guayusa, en los “supinas” o cantos y silbos en las ceremonias rituales de la ayahuasca, en los llamados a las minkas (filosofía de cuidado y organización alrededor del trabajo). Frente a la necro-comunicación del algoritmo que todo lo controla y reduce a mercancía, la comunicación comunitaria se alza como una forma de desobediencia epistémica y para sostener la tradición y la ancestralidad. Desobedece el funcionalismo de la comunicación, el culto al emisor acrítico, la tiranía de la viralización y la forma perversa de espectaculizar la vida. Y propone en su lugar otras lógicas comunicacionales: las del vínculo, la reciprocidad, la palabra compartida, que hacen parte del proceso de re-existencia. Aquí no se trata solo de informar, trasmitir, sino de vivir en común, de narrar-se desde los interiores de lo comunitario. Esta obra recorre territorios y reflexiones comunicacionales de la Amazonía brasileña y peruana, los Andes regionales que llegan hasta las tierras del sur donde habitan pueblos como los mapuches, las tierras afroandinas y la urbanidad afropacífica en Cali. Recoge voces de mujeres indígenas que hacen radio como acto de memoria, de afrodescendientes que disputan sentidos desde prácticas ancestrales como la “cochita amorosa” que es un sistema de comunicación y protección de sus ancestros, de jóvenes que se reapropian de las tecnologías para decir: aquí estamos, no somos datos, somos comunidad que sueña, que comunica, que resiste. No se trata de inventar nuevas formas de relacionarnos, sino de volver a nuestras formas ancestrales de comunicarnos, aportar y consolidad esa ontología relacional que ha devenido en la comunicación y por supuesto, mediando e incorporando las nuevas tecnologías en favor de esos sentidos de vida. Se trata de esa atar el discurso con la acción al proyecto comunitario que resiste desde el territorio, como lo plantea el pueblo nasa en Colombia, cuando hablan de la cosmoacción, acción desde el propio discurso y cosmovisión, que se vuelve constitutiva del sentido de comunalidad y que está envuelta en la comunicación comunitaria, por ello, vuelve un tema epistémico que interpela lo hegemónico comunicacional que posiciona ideologías del poder dominante."
