Proposta de criação de um jornal ambiental

Abstract

This experimental project focuses on the conception and production of the environmental newspaper EcoMoz, developed as a practical exercise for the application of theoretical and technical knowledge acquired during the Journalism degree. The work aims to demonstrate the author’s ability to translate conceptual and methodological foundations into practical journalistic production, resulting in a final product that combines informational quality, editorial rigour, and social relevance. EcoMoz is a printed monthly newspaper designed to address environmental issues in Mozambique in a systematic and in-depth manner. Its creation arises from the observation that national media tend to approach environmental matters sporadically and reactively, concentrating mainly on natural disasters while neglecting structural causes and long-term implications. Thus, the newspaper seeks to fill this gap by providing a platform for reflection and public debate on environmental and sustainability concerns. Beyond its function as a specialised communication proposal, EcoMoz also serves as an instrument for education and social awareness, encouraging civic participation and a collective commitment to environmental preservation. The project represents the intersection between journalistic theory and practice, contributing to the strengthening of environmental journalism in Mozambique and to the promotion of a culture of ecological responsibility within society
