Bruno Pacheco – Cenarium Magazine

MANAUS – Two years ago, in the middle of the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil, CENARIUM MAGAZINE made its debut on digital platforms, on April 15th, 2020, and launched itself as a communication vehicle focused on generating content about the Brazilian Legal Amazon. In this period of time, the journal has established itself as one of the main journalistic vehicles in the region, producing reports on sociopolitical, socioeconomic, and behavioral issues related to diversity, gender equality, and ethno-racial relations, conquering spaces of extreme importance in society.

Always dedicated to ethical journalism and with a critical sense, CENARIUM has become a reference in the academic community and has been invited to participate, on numerous occasions, in debates and lectures about communication in the digital age and the production of articles about the Amazon. Higher Education Institutions such as the Federal University of Amazonas, Uninorte, Fametro, and Marta Falcão were some of the academic centers that received journalists from the magazine and promoted knowledge exchange between students and the reporting team that is part of the company.

In order for the population to get to know the candidates for the Manaus City Hall and, from a critical analysis, the magazine conquered an important space in the political scenario in 2020, when it debuted the “Estúdio C” show and promoted, between October 26th and November 10th of that year, a technical discussion with the candidates for the Municipal Executive, who were in front of a collegiate of experts in Administration, Law, Economics, and Environment.

The panelists who participated in the show had to answer questions about health, infrastructure, public, economic, and administrative policies, in addition to hearing proposals for the environmental area about the most influential city in the Legal Amazon. “Estúdio C” had the mediation of journalist Paula Litaiff, CEO of CENARIUM MAGAZINE.

In two years, CENARIUM expanded its scope of action, with the hiring of correspondents in other Brazilian states and abroad, reaching Europe in November 2020, with the goal of investing in quality research on relevant facts to the Amazon. In addition, the magazine will have journalists in Pará and a public relations team in São Paulo, to strengthen the vehicle’s image in Brazil’s largest city.

On January 15, 2021, during the fateful period in which Amazonas experienced the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, CENARIUM became part of TV Cultura’s journalism, by partnering with the national broadcaster to produce daily reports on the oxygen crisis in the state. The union between the communication vehicles gave more visibility to the region and remains consolidated in 2022.

Also in 2021, the magazine installed a branch in Brasilia (DF) to monitor and supervise the projects and actions involving the states of the Brazilian Amazon in the spheres of executive, legislative and judicial powers. Since last year, CENARIUM also has a journalistic team in the State of Rondônia and is part of the rich collection of the Amazonas Public Library, with authorial and exclusive content available monthly for public consultation by readers.

In the same year, CENARIUM changed the face of journalism in the state of Amazonas by focusing on diversity, the name of the editorship headed by journalist Priscilla Peixoto. Along with the new environment focused on the theme, the magazine dealt with important points related to gender and racial equality, culture, religion, and beauty in the Amazonian context.

Between the months of August and September last year, the printed productions of CENARIUM MAGAZINE were exhibited at the 91st Lisbon Book Fair in Portugal. The Portuguese readers were able to enjoy the August issues of the periodical, named “They made Amazon a guinea pig”, as well as “Cost Devastation”, from July, “Yanomami Genocide”, from June, and “Hunger Pandemic”, from April.

Increasingly on the rise, CENARIUM has become a subject of study at one of Japan’s largest and most renowned institutions of Higher Education, Nagoya University, ranked as the third best university in the Asian country. The printed editions of the journal were delivered to the institution’s library by Rafael Lins, a researcher in ‘Peace and Governance’ at Nagoya University’s Department of International Development, and were made available to those interested.

In February this year, the magazine received three awards for its actions in defense of social and racial equality, in an event promoted by the Instituto Nacional Afro Origem (Inaô) Amazonas, in partnership with the Movimento Igualdade. CENARIUM received recognition in three categories: ‘Black Awareness’, ‘Outstanding Women’, and ‘Equality’, the latter being considered the main one.

Concerned with the moral principles of good journalism, CENARIUM is always seeking to provide its readers with quality content committed to ethics. Because of this, the magazine has joined the “É Fato! Professional Journalism with Credibility” campaign, which promotes awareness about the importance of professional journalism in Amazonas.

The initiative started the search for the “Seal of Professional Journalism” in the communication vehicles, which CENARIUM has already started the procedures to obtain. The seal has the objective of differentiating companies that produce information responsibly from those that are focused only on gaining audience by unethical means and without commitment to checking. It is because of these achievements that the magazine thanks you, dear reader, for these two years sharing information and knowledge.
