Abstract

The oil spill in September 2014 in Quintero Bay (Valparaíso, Chile) attracted the national and local media attention by the large amount of dispersed oil. This disaster occurred in a highly polluted city, scenery of several catastrophic environmental events. The covers or front pages of the local newspaper El Mercurio de Valparaíso were analyzed, confirming Chilean media trend to cover environmental issues as conflicts where the environmental aspects are ousted by judicial contents. By this omission of the environmental perspectives when informing about the oil spill-an approach related to Quintero-Puchuncaví environmental social inequity-the newspaper leaves it out of the local public sphere, thus fostering communicational inequality.
