Sinopse
Características

Environmental Risks and the Media explores the ways in which environmental risks, threats and hazards are represented, transformed and contested by the media. At a time when popular conceptions of the environment as a stable, natural world with which humanity interferes are being increasingly contested, the medias methods of encouraging audiences to think about environmental risks - from the BSE or mad cow crisis to global climate change - are becoming more and more controversial.Examining large-scale disasters, as well as everyday hazards, the contributors consider the tensions between entertainment and information in media coverage of the environment. How do the media frame expert, counter-expert and lay public definitions of environmental risk? What role do environmental pressure groups like Greenpeace or eco-warriors and green guerrillas play in shaping what gets covered and how? Does the media emphasis on spectacular events at the expense of issue-sensitive reporting exacerbate the public tendency to overestimate sudden and violent risks and underestimate chronic long-term ones?
