Reporting with Care: Reflections on Environmental Journalism, Ethics, and Latin American Challenges

In this article, I delve into the intersection of care and environmental journalism within the context of Latin American challenges. Drawing on personal experiences as an academic, I emphasize the imperative of an ethic of care to guide scholarly endeavors in overcoming systemic barriers in the region. Reflecting on collaborative research and personal experiences, I discuss the urgent need for evidence-based decision-making in vulnerable areas. Navigating the complexities of journalistic principles amid environmental crises, I advocate for care as a crucial news value. I urge fellow academics to contribute to transformative journalism and scholarship, fostering credibility and relevance while challenging oppressive systems.
