In this website, you can find information about my current, past and future work and also information about the issues that interest me the most. My first passion is to find ways to use environmental communication to help empower communities to become economically independent, politically influent, legally capable, socially fair and environmentally sustainable. The concepts of environmental justice, sustainable development and community right to know are essential in this work.

I am also interested in the role played by journalists and media institutions in the development of an open and democratic society. I believe the news media has a fundamental social role to provide relevant, useful and meaningful information to inform public decisions and the policymaking process. The advancement of communication technologies and the massive amount of information available through the Internet are the great challenges for media professionals in this new century. Questions of how newspeople can help underserved populations to access this rich well of information in empowering ways; or how media professionals can ethically use social networks, web 2.0 and web 3.0 to gather and distribute information in meaningful ways; or even how the very nature of the new media affects the daily work of journalists, its ethics and its regulations.

Finally, I believe that high quality education can prepare current and future journalists and communicators in general to achieve greater ethical standards in their jobs and to become more culturally, politically, economically, socially and environmentally knowledgeable. Consequently, better educated communicators can become more efficient, purpose-driven, ethically-oriented and socially-engaged professionals.
