Environment, Media and Communication

Reviews / Votes

"The second edition of Anders Hansen's Environment, Media, and Communication makes an important contribution to the growing corpus of environmental communication textbooks available for undergraduate and graduate students. Hansen's volume provides a solid grounding in theories of media psychology, structures, and patterns of audience engagement, and is bolstered by updated case studies as well as careful attention paid to the transformational role of social media in our increasingly complex and cluttered information environment. I look forward to using it in my own environmental communication class!" - Stephen Depoe, Professor of Communication and Department Head, University of Cincinnati, USA

"An understanding of environmental communication is critical to addressing current global challenges, and this new edition of Environment, Media and Communication provides students and practitioners with an indispensable guide to this swiftly changing field. Hansen is one of the leading founders of this multidisciplinary area of research and his book provides an excellent overview of a large body of research, including an analysis of the impact of digital and social media. A new concluding chapter surveys just how far the study of environmental communication has come over the last couple of decades and provides important pointers for its future directions." - Alison Anderson, Associate Head of School, University of Plymouth, UK, and Adjunct Professor, Monash University, Australia

"Hansen's updated textbook accomplishes the unenviable task of keeping its readers abreast on both the quickly changing environment and media technologies, and does so in an accessible and engaging manner." - Jennifer Peeples, Professor, Utah State University, USA
