Minas Gerais State, Brazil, went through two relevant events in four years: the disruptions of the Fundão Dam in 2015 and The Córrego do Feijão Mine in 2019. In the wake of these occurrences, Barão de Cocais city lives, since May 2019, unstable moments by the Vale mining company announcement about the embankment rupture of the Gongo Soco mine. From that event we are questioning the initial journalistic coverage of two newspapers from Minas Gerais realizing the tension between the narratives of the mining company and those of the communities of Barão, using as methodology the analysis of the marks of the investigation and the composition of the articles, considering, finally, that coverage privileged Vale's information, configuring its discursive hegemony.
