Description

Environmental journalism is an increasingly significant area for study within the broader field of journalism studies.

It connects the concerns of politics, science, business, culture and the natural world whilst also exploring the boundaries between the local, regional and global.

A central and typical focus for its concerns are the global summits convened to share scientific knowledge about global warming and to formulate policies to mitigate its consequences in particular locales.

But reporting environmental change creates difficulties for journalists who are often ill equipped to resolve the uncertainties in the disputed scientific accounts of climate change.

This research-based collection focuses on aspects of environmental journalism in Australia, France, Norway, Sweden, the UK and the USA.

Contributors present case studies of media reporting of the environment, and explore considerations of objectivity and advocacy in journalistic coverage of the environment and climate change. This book was originally published as a special issue of Journalism Studies.
