Has the hype associated with the «revolutionary» potential of the
World Wide Web and digital media for environmental activism been muted
by the past two decades of lived experience? What are the empirical
realities of the prevailing media landscape? Using a range of related
disciplinary perspectives, the contributors to this book analyze and
explain the complicated relationship between environmental conflict
and the media. They shine light on why media are central to historical
and contemporary conceptions of power and politics in the context of
local, national and global issues and outline the emerging mixture of
innovation and reliance on established strategies in environmental
campaigns. With cases drawn from different sections of the globe –
Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Europe, Latin
America, China, Japan, the Pacific Islands, Africa – the book
demonstrates how conflicts emanate from and flow across multiple
sites, regions and media platforms and examines the role of the media
in helping to structure collective discussion, debate and
decision-making.
