Opis

Covering the Environment serves as a primer for future and current journalists reporting on environmental issues across all types of media and for an international audience. Observations and story excerpts from experienced journalists provide real world context, and practice story assignments, resources, and a glossary of environmental, science, regulator, and journalism terms gives journalists all the tools needed to cover the green beat. Updated with detailed coverage of how companies and climate change have evolved over the past decade, this second edition expands upon the digital sphere and the myriad ways that deadline, multimedia and mobile reporting have changed environmental journalism. Including consideration of issues such as the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, and controversial GMO legislation, this new edition provides a fresh take on the green beat with a newly organized table of contents and a guide to freelance and entrepeneurial journalism.
