"At a time when the global scale of environmental issues
insisits upon public attention and action, the news institutions
that report these issues have come under singular economic
pressure. Libby lester writes a theoretically sophisticated
and lucid analysis of the mediated construction of the public
discourse on environmental risk under these conditions and of the
political interests of the key players in this essential
debate."
Andrew Rojecki, University of Illinois at Chicago
"As we teeter on the brink of environmental apocalypse, we may
wonder: how did we get here? Libby Lester's insightful analysis of
the role of news media in constructing our understanding of the
multiple environmental crises engulfing the earth provides
important clues. Through her global perspective on why we get the
environmental news coverage that we do, Lester gives us some hope
for charting a new direction."
Kevin DeLuca, University of Utah
