This study presents discussions on deforestation in the Amazon, especially in the state of
Pará, in the period 1987-2012, from the corpus of editions of Jornal Pessoal, authored by
Lúcio Flávio Pinto. We seek to verify the placement, Jornal Pessoal speech in the debate
about deforestation, and the State action in this matter. For analysis of the corpus, we use the
analysis of discourse, constituted on interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological
approach. It appears that the positioning of Jornal Pessoal is critical and reflective, since the
argumentative discourse makes use of discursive strategies as the legitimacy of speech,
interpellation, and the interaction with the reader. It is observed that Jornal Pessoal, to
discuss the actions taken by the State to combat deforestation in Pará, shows that such actions
go further in creating instruments of control and legal mechanisms, showing that the effective
actions are far removed from the tow deforestation to an environmental policy committed and
serious, demonstrating the inertia of the State in combating this practices.
