Technical utopia and health dystopia: A contemporary visual battle

Résumé

In this article, we explore the role of the press, regarded as a "fourth estate" of democracy since the 18th century, and its complex relationship with public authorities. Through the lens of political ecology, we examine the limitations and biases of media discourses on public health in Europe, particularly in Spain. By analysing cases such as the Spanish flu, various industrial accidents, and the COVID pandemic, we advance the hypothesis that economic progress and industrialisation, while being celebrated, compel the media to downplay their impacts on human beings and the environment.
