Routledge Handbook of Environmental Journalism
The Routledge Handbook of Environmental Journalism provides a thorough understanding of environmental journalism around the world.
An increasing number of media platforms - from newspapers and television to Internet social media networks - are the major providers of indispensable information about the natural world and environmental risk. Despite the dramatic changes in the news industry that have tended to reduce the number of full-time newspaper reporters, environmental journalists remain key to bringing stories to light across the globe. With contributions from around the world broken down into five key regions - the United States of America, Europe and Russia, Asia and Australia, Africa and the Middle East, and South America - this book provides support for today's environment reporters, the providers of essential news in the 21st century.
As a scholarly and journalistic work written by academics and the environmental reporters themselves, this volume is an essential text for students and scholars of environmental communication, journalism, and global environmental issues more generally, as well as professionals working in this vital area.

Network Television News Coverage of Environmental Risks
Television news coverage of environmental disasters is very poor. What little time is devoted to environmental issues is sensational and leaves viewers with a misperception about true environmental hazards.

Introduction
The environment is one of today's key public and political issues. The increasing numbers of media platforms are the major providers of indispensable information about the natural world and environmental risk. Despite the dramatic changes in the news industry that have tended to reduce the number of full-time newspaper reporters, environmental journalists remain key to bringing stories to light across the globe. These beat specialists know the sources essential to verifying claims and have the skills needed to translate difficult science to the public. As younger journalists move into this specialized arena and as the complexity of environmental issues increases, the experience and knowledge of veteran reporters and environmental and science communication scholars become increasingly invaluable. The aim of this handbook is to provide a thorough understanding of environmental journalism around the world, as well as background and support for today's environment reporters, the providers of essential news in the 21st century.
