The book discusses major challenges in environmental reportage, such as political and corporate pressures on media houses and threats to journalists. It discusses why environmental reporting is not considered an important 'beat' and reports covering these issues are usually assigned to junior reporters. This book analyses why journalists lack the proper training to report on environmental issues, focusing on the many obstacles to scientific knowledge and specialized training. It draws critical insights from interviews with environmental journalists, activists and specialists, and will be an important read for scholars of not only media studies and environmental studies but also sociology, politics and development studies. Looking at the media's role in framing environmental degradation as a human rights issue, the book argues that the growth of environmental journalism can contribute significantly to global initiatives for saving the planet"--  aEnvironmental protection  aEnvironmental degradation  aClimatic changes  aMass media and the environment  aMass media and public opinion  2ddccBK  c26223d26223  00102ddc40708TXBaCURAJbCURAJd2023-05-29eCMSg1350.00l0o070.4 P79Ep40103r2023-05-29w2023-05-29yBK  00102ddc40708TXBaCURAJbCURAJd2023-10-19eCMSg1350.00l0o070.4 P79Ep42298r2023-10-19w2023-10-19yBK
