I am interested in investigating the relationship between the mass media and the environment, especially in relation to climate change. Below are two articles that discuss this topic through a narrower perspective:
Callison, Candis. "Distorting the climate message." Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming, 2010. 161-162
This book review discusses the impartiality of mass media in relation to global warming. In their book, Climate Cover-Up, James Hoggan and Richard Littlemore argue that various public relations campaigns are distorting the public's "perception of climate change by presenting scientific conclusions as biased." Despite his position as a the president and founder of a public relations company in Vancouver, Canada, Hoggan claims that the mass media has the potential to "debunk" the credentials of climate experts, and as a result, the issue remains unsolved.
Russil, Chris., Nyssa, Zoe. "The tipping point trend in climate change communication." Global Environmental Change, 2009.
This report analyzes climate change, its relation to mainstream media, and how it influences the public. Tipping points in climate change can cause unwarranted anxiety amongst individuals, yet if the information released is too subtle, then it could result in a "false sense of security."
