| description | The objective of the article is to analyse the functioning of the environmental institutionalism in Chile from the perspective of the main news frames of the Chilean digitalnewspapers during the last five years, related to the environmental impact assessment procedure of the Minera Dominga project. Through a qualitative content analysis, 263 news items published by three national newspapers are examined, allowing the identification of three major informative frameworks of the news about the case study: 1) environmental institutions, 2) impacts, and 3) corruption. These news frames expose the various political, social andjudicial complexities that have been related to the environmental evaluation procedure in force in Chile for more than a decade. One of the conclusions of the study emphasizes the important social responsibility that the media have regarding the dissemination of informationon the environment and the more sustainable development of the territories, which is reflected in the case studied in the publication of different journalistic reports. to denounce actions committed by political and business actors related to irregular situations from a legal point of view that have affected the credibility of citizens, thus increasing the relevance for public opinion of those information frames that are most critical of extractives policies that do notcontribute effectively to the care of the country’s natural resources. |

El objetivo del artículo es analizar el funcionamiento de la institucionalidad ambiental en Chile desde la perspectiva de los principales encuadres noticiosos de los diarios digitales chilenos durante los últimos cinco años, relativos al procedimiento de evaluación del impacto ambiental del proyecto de Minera Dominga. Mediante un análisis de contenido cualitativo, se examinan 263 noticias publicadas por tres periódicos nacionales que permiten identificar tres grandes marcos informativos de las noticias sobre el caso de estudio: 1) institucionalidad ambiental, 2) impactos y 3) corrupción. Dichos encuadres noticiosos exponen las diversas complejidades políticas, sociales y judiciales que han estado relacionadas con el procedimiento de evaluación ambiental vigente en Chile desde hace más de una década. Una de las conclusiones del estudio recalca la importante responsabilidad social que tienen los medios de comunicación respecto de la divulgación de información sobre el medio ambiente y el desarrollo más sostenible de los territorios, lo que se refleja en el caso estudiado en la publicación de diferentes reportajes periodísticos para denunciar acciones cometidas por actores políticos y empresariales relacionadas con situaciones irregulares desde el punto de vista legal que han afectado la credibilidad de la ciudadanía, aumentando así la relevancia para la opinión pública de aquellos encuadres informativos más críticos hacia las políticas extractivistas que no contribuyan efectivamente al cuidado de los recursos naturales del país.
