Abstract

Between 2012 and 2015, Brazil faced a multi-annual drought condition, affecting various sectors of civil society. The reduction in water availability, especially in the semiarid region of Bahia, highlighted the public water policies carried out in Bahia, a state located in the northeast of Brazil. In that same critical quadrennium, in terms of low rainfall, local newspapers covered this important climatic event. The present work is based on the articles published by two opinion newspapers of great regional circulation in the state of Bahia. The objective was to analyze the news that addressed the concepts of combating drought and living with this event and with the region, published by the local media. To this end, we selected articles published between 2012 and 2015. It was concluded that the media remains with a reductionist and fragmented view on the semiarid and the drought phenomenon (combating drought), not adhering to an important approach developed from the 1990 onwards, by social organizations living with the drought, which addresses principles of environmental, economic, social and cultural sustainability.
