Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the environmental theme appears in research and extension projects elaborated by Journalism qualification courses’ professors of public universities in Piauí, Brazil: State University of Piauí (Uespi) and Federal University of Piauí (UFPI). Thus, we investigated project production of professors in both institutions, and noticed that there are gaps in the training of journalists of these universities, not only on the environmental issue but also on other topics and opportunities available to students in research and extension fronts. We also noticed the need of interference of superior management in encouraging greater production, mainly of extension projects in the academy. It is noteworthy that, despite these findings, environmental issues are included in the curriculum of Journalism courses in Brazil as a cross-cutting theme.
