The present study is linked to the research project "Imaginário na Amazônia: um estudo sobre as representações produzidas pelo jornalismo do G1/Acre", registered at the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Acre (FAPAC). The article proposes a debate on the representations and imaginary of the Brazilian Amazon, emphasizing the South-Western region, where Acre is located. It is known that since the arrival of the first Europeans, the region is observed by the dichotomy hell/tropical paradise and its population is identified as exotic, picturesque and primitive. Therefore, the research proposal is to analyze if the journalistic narratives help to maintain the preconceptions or if they are created new possibilities of interpretation on the Acre. In order to propose the reflection, six news articles published in G1/Acre on aspects of the Amazon region of Acre will be studied. The study includes materials published between 2014 and 2016. Roger Chartier is used to study representations, authors such as Miquel Alsina to discuss communication issues and Francisco Foot Hardman, Ana Pizarro, Durval Muniz de Albuquerque Junior, among others, that discuss issues related to the Amazon region.
