ENVIRONMENTAL QUESTIONS AND MASS-MEDIA THE CASE OF ITALY AND RUSSIA
Abstract
The last decades have shown how economic growth has put the environmental question into shadow. The analysis of the politics of different countries has shown that green indicators are not taken into consideration despite economic questions. A set of factors is the cause of global pollution. Sentences like ?global warming oceans full of plastic?, ?air pollution? are used often. Global pollution is defined as an alteration of the normal state of quality of the environment, which can often lead to the definitive change of the physicochemical characteristics of an ecosystem. With COVID 19, the ecological problem has the proposed work to analyse how Virus COVID 19 has been linked to environmental questions and how the issue was delivered to citizens by the media. The transnational research permitted to have a wide range of data. The media that has been taken as a sample are the Italian and Russian ones. The used methodology was the analysis of articles at the start of the pandemic, pandemic pic, and the end of the lockdown period. Through content analysis, it was possible to individuate by which way the environment pollution question has been linked to COVID 19 and how it was purposed to the audience.
