eos de noticieros que se realizan periódicamente, así como de fragmentos de las reuniones realizadas con trabajadores de la comunicación durante estos tres años. La totalidad de los casos que se mencionan -una selección pequeña del universo de reclamos recibidos por el organismo- fueron debatidos con los trabajadores de los medios de comunicación -desde los periodistas hasta las productoras-, de modo de reflexionar de manera conjunta acerca de lo que las audiencias habían reclamado y la perspectiva que esta Defensoría tiene sobre cada uno de ellos. En casi todos los casos, dichos debates concluyeron en actividades de capacitación, lectura de materiales específicos y debates sobre legalidades, legitimidades y potenciales abordajes alternativos. Abordajes que posibilitaran realizar la actividad profesional en materia policial sin que ésta vulnerara derechos." (Introducción, página 8)

vidas y el impacto que tenemos en él. Como periodistas ambientales, tenemos la oportunidad de plantear temas que otras personas no tienen en cuenta, o preguntar sobre prácticas que son muy buenas (y pueden servir de ejemplo) o muy malas (y deben ser cambiadas). Podemos abogar por justicia cuando los derechos de las personas se ven transgredidos o amenazados, y podemos educar a la gente para que puedan convertirse en sus propios mejores defensores. A medida que aumenta la conciencia pública sobre cuestiones medioambientales —desde el uso de pesticidas, pasando por el cambio climático, hasta el deslizamiento de relaves mineros, por ejemplo—, también lo hace la necesidad de que haya periodistas que puedan investigar y explicar las causas, consecuencias y posibles soluciones. Si bien el periodismo ambiental es una especialidad, esta no existe de forma aislada. Así, si bien te ayuda el conocer un poco sobre la ciencia medioambiental, probablemente también te encontrarás abordando temas de política, economía, salud, aspectos sociales y puntos de vista culturales: cómo es que el mercurio en los peces afecta a la salud humana, por ejemplo, o los datos económicos de cómo el oro proveniente de la minería ilegal en la Amazonía termina en los mercados internacionales, o cómo la construcción de una hidroeléctrica afecta a las tradiciones culturales de las comunidades indígenas aledañas, y puede estar relacionada con la corrupción."
