摘要:In many Western countries, television is the main source of environmental information. Despite its importance, there are few quantitative studies of these coverage. Our aim is to analyze the Spanish television news in order to alleviate the lack of information regarding this subject. From a sample of 32,592 news collected throughout a oneyear period, we found that information on environmental issues accounted for 3.4% of the total. These news focused on the following topics: ecosystem deterioration, biodiversity, climate change, ecofriendly practices, ecological protest and renewables. A common thread runs through the coverage: a tendency towards catastrophism, drama, visual appeal and conflict. It can be said that its regular flow during the study period indicates that environmental topics have won a permanent niche in primetime programming.
