ENVIRONMENT REPORTERS IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Book ID/图书代码： 13149010B36796

English Summary/英文概要： Environment Reporters in the 21st Century is the story of specialized journalists who, because of their expertise, their experience, or their willingness, regularly write about environmental issues. This is the story of a relatively new journalistic beat, one that developed during the lifetime of the authors. This book provides a view of American journalism in the first decade of the new century, when newspapers and television were the major source of news in America.

The authors have divided the work into three parts. The first, Environment Reporting, includes a review of the literature and a detailed explanation of the methodology of the current study. Part II, The Environment Reporters of the 21st Century, describes the results of the present research. Part III, The Craft: Telling the Environment Story, provides in-depth accounts of environment reporters at work. Was the first decade of the 21st century a golden age of environmental reporting? The final chapter puts this research in historical perspective, viewing it in terms of the economic decline of the newspaper business and of local television news.

Environment reporters and their sources are eager to get news out, but not always in the same way, or at the same time. There is a constant struggle among the thousands of environmental activists, corporate public relations people, government officials, and scientists to frame the message in a way that is advantageous to their point of view. This has been called the great ecological communication war, the war between conflicting public relations forces to influence public policy. These competing interests need to understand how journalists think and function. This volume tells the story of environmental reporting imaginatively and innovatively.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《21世纪环境报告员》讲述了一群因为各自的专业、经历、或是志向而有规律地记录环境问题的专业记者们的故事。这些作者们用了毕生时间致力于这项全新的新闻事业。这本书带领读者们一同分享21世纪前十年中，美国新闻工作者所具有的独到视野。
作者们将这项工作分为三个部分。第一部分：环境报告。包括了对文化的回顾以及对目前研究方法论的详细解释。第二部分：21世纪的环境报告员们。这一部分描述了近阶段研究的成果。最后一部分：讲述环境的故事，近距离接触工作中的环境记者们。21世纪的前十年是否是环境报告的黄金时期呢？本书的最后一章节从历史角度出发，在当地报纸业务和电视新闻节目的经济衰退的背景中展望了这项研究。
环境记者们渴望将这些信息以不同方式在不同时间传播出去。这是一场在环境保护者、企业公共关系人群、政客、以及科学家之间展开的长久斗争，每个团体都希望以对自身有利的方式传播这些信息。
这场战争被称为伟大的生态沟通战役。参战的利益团体必须知道这些新闻工作者是如何思考及工作的。这本书以一种全新的方式，生动形象地讲述了环境报告的故事。(RH)
