Recenzje

"Climate Change and the Media offers a timely and important contribution to current understandings of the role of media communication and practice in shaping the parameters of public and policy engagement on climate change. Providing a significant expansion on its first edition in 2009, this collection critically examines media frames and media practices within and across developed and developing countries, whilst also focusing much needed attention upon the significant role of imagery in media communication on climate change. Including established and emerging scholars, Climate Change and the Media illustrates the critical advances made within climate communication scholarship over the last decade. Yet these developments take place against a global political landscape that is consistently failing to put climate mitigation and adaptation into practice. This collection thus also highlights an urgent need in mediated communication on climate change: opportunities for audiences to discuss how to live ethically within, and contribute responsibly towards, climate-changed societies."-Julie Doyle, Professor of Media and Communication, University of Brighton
