Abstract

This article analyzes the communication actions and response strategies adopted by the State Secretariat for the Environment and Sustainable Development, of the State of Minas Gerais (Semad) and by the National Mining Agency (ANM), public bodies that act in the concession and inspection mining activity in the State and Brazil, during the crises caused by the failure of the ore tailings dams in Mariana (2015) and Brumadinho (2019), operated by the mining companies Samarco and Vale, respectively. From the content and discourse analysis of a set of 357 notes issued to the media, notices, bulletins and videos published on their websites and online social networks, it was concluded that state bodies failed to provide local communities with information that could be substantial in providing security for their lives, property and the environment in which they live. It was found that there was: i) the production and dissemination of information, but without attention to message recipients and marked by unidirectional, top-down, non-dialogical communication; ii) intergovernmental communication, when state organizations speak within the very government entities to which they are linked or hierarchically submitted; iii) low presence and use of social media; iv) low interactivity with users on online social networks; and, v) non-existent interactivity channels, for direct communication with local communities.

The publisher perpetually authorizes participants in the LOCKSS system to archive and restore our publication through the LOCKSS System for the benefit of all LOCKSS System participants.

Fair use of a copyrighted work, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; & 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. In accord with these provisions, the OBS journal believes in the vigorous assertion and defense of Fair Use by scholars engaged in academic research, teaching and non-commercial publishing. Thus, we view the inclusion of “quotations” from existing print, visual, audio and audio-visual texts to be appropriate examples of Fair Use, as are reproductions of visual images for the purpose of scholarly analysis. We encourage authors to obtain appropriate permissions to use materials originally produced by others, but do not require such permissions as long as the usage of such materials falls within the boundaries of Fair Use.
