This article seeks to present in which ways and circumstances Guanabara Bay could emerge as an important environmental journalistic agenda. Analyzing articles from the O Globo newspaper between the 1940s and the 1970s, a crucial period to understand the pollution of the bay, we identifid the changes of an idyllic reference point of the bay to represent a place of danger. In this sense, we explore the importance that human health acquires for the environmental agenda of the bay to reach levels of reporting similar to the current ones. We also reflct about how the environmental agenda can be built away from syndromes common to this journalistic fild, but associated with important theories in the fild, such as the indispensability of ecological activism and the need to expand the news focus and to encompass the knowledge of traditional people.
