“…The role of media in environmental, environmental controversy, and public health risk news has received considerable recent scholarly attention (e.g., Russill, 2008; Russill & Nyssa, 2009; Peeples & Depoe, 2014; DeLuca & Peeples, 2002; Campbell, 2014; Shehata & Hopmann, 2012; Morgan, Larkin, & Adams, 2011). For example, past research has examined media and rhetoric involving environmental issues (Peeples, 2005; Peeples, 2011; Peeples et al, 2014).…”

This study investigated newspaper coverage of Florida red tide blooms in four metropolitan areas of Southwest Florida during a 25-year period, 1987-2012. We focused on how journalists framed red tide stories with respect to environmental risk, health risk, and economic risk. We determined risk to be a key factor in this news coverage, being an aspect of coverage of red tide itself in terms of environmental risk, tourism risk, and public health risk. The study found that red tide news coverage is most often framed as an environmental story.

“…Such framing strategies need to emphasise human agency (e.g. the relationship between personal or government responsibility and habitat loss/protection) to be effective in the context of environmental advocacy (Campbell 2014).…”

Birds are of significant scientific and public interest yet although human interactions with birds are widespread and diverse in nature, relatively few people participate in conservation initiatives. Understanding how conservation practitioners describe conservation issues and whether this resonates with recipients' attitudes could help create more appealing conservation strategies. This study applied a new typology of 12 avifaunal attitudes during 74 qualitative interviews with Australian conservation practitioners from the government, non-government, private, public and scientific sectors to investigate how they frame threatened bird issues. Messages about threatened bird conservation were typically positive and framed according to four major themes: morality, intrinsic value, empathy and loss. A strong link between empathy for wildlife and moral justification for preventing extinctions emerged. We recommend that public messages advocating for threatened bird conservation could be framed in positive ways that arouse emotions. Expressing a broad range of attitudes could appeal at both public interest and policymaker levels and assist with developing more effective frames to capture some of the complex social landscape within which threatened species conservation operates. These findings could apply to wildlife conservation in Australia and elsewhere. Finally, the typology can assist with developing appropriately framed and targeted conservation engagement strategies.

“… Documentaries, a second area noted as under-researched (Campbell, 2014)  Visual imagery. As noted in Hay and Eagle (2016), the choice of images used as part of communication has significant impact on engagement with issues, with the link between imagery and communications framing being noted (Geise and Baden, 2015) but under-researched in the environmental context (Hansen and Machin, 2013).…”

Coverage of issues by news media is known to impact on both public perceptions and policy development aimed at addressing the featured issues. We examine the potential impact of news media coverage regarding the health and potential future of the World heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef, which is under multiple pressures, both natural and anthropogenic. We draw on the extant literature regarding the impact of news media coverage of other complex issues, linking to relevant, albeit limited theoretical concepts that have been applied to previous media studies. We find that media coverage is predominately sensationalized and negative, with the potential to reinforce perceptions that mitigation attempts will be ineffective and thus likely to inhibit future policy development. We discuss the need for a review of existing science communication models and strategies to reduce the knowledge-practice gap between scientists and policy makers, together with proactive strategies to counter negative news coverage.
