Abstract

The article analyzes journalist Eliane Brum’s work as a recalling operation. The reporter selects the main elements of the covid-19 pandemic impacts and health rights violations to Yanomami people. This work presents a qualitative research and instrumental case study based on the analytical corpus of journalistic texts published on the El País Brasil website and the Sumaúma platform. The disseminated journalistic narrative constitutes a digital archive in which the historical media record associates with the dialectic of memory and oblivion based on the testimony portrayed in the acts of enunciation. Furthermore, the article questioned the limits of journalistic deontology allied to ethics of care-taking as narrating
and enabling access to indigenous peoples’ body images in the context of sharing information about communication and health.
