Scanning the Landscape: Media Coverage of the Env't

This seminar workshop explores the practice of environmental reporting in local/regional media, highlighting the centrality of the local context, event-focused coverage, lack of contextualizing, and the need for greater depth. It also explores relationships within the ridge-to-reef framework, focusing on deforestation, urban flooding, and mining issues. The workshop aims to identify gaps, point out policy/regulatory implications, and engage communities, NGOs, government agencies, academic institutions, and personal study.
