Journalism plays a prominent role in democratic societies by contributing to the process of spreading and expanding the debate with public opinion on topics that are considered crucial for humanity. The present research brings a study of the news framework given by the websites O Antagonista and The Intercept Brasil, about public policies related to the environment, with the clipping of the articles that dealt with the burning in the Amazon forest during the month of August 2019. The research answers how the respective online newspapers framed the debate on deforestation in the Amazon in a context of environmental crisis. The study hypothesizes that online newspapers sought a polarized framework on the topic, but distanced themselves from the discussion about policies that are linked to environmental protection and its barriers. As a methodology, the analysis of news framing was used, starting from the notion that the media content houses an internal structure that has a central organizing idea conceptualized by interpretive packages.
