New book: /Participatory Media in Environmental Communication 
<https://www.routledge.com/Participatory-Media-in-Environmental-Communication-Engaging-Communities/Harris/p/book/9781138655287>, 
/available in hardback and e-book from Routledge.//

/Participatory Media in Environmental Communication/ brings together 
stories of communities in the Pacific islands – a region that is 
severely affected by the impacts of climate change. Despite living on 
the margins of the digital revolution, these island communities have 
used media and communication to create awareness of and find solutions 
to environmental challenges. By telling their stories in their own way, 
ordinary people are able to communicate compelling accounts of how 
different, but interrelated, environmental, political, and economic 
issues converge and impact at a local level.　

This book fills a significant gap in our understanding of how 
participatory media is used as a dialogic tool to raise awareness and 
facilitate discussion of environmental issues that are now critical. It 
includes a section on pedagogy and practice – the undergirding 
principles, the tools, the methods. The book offers a framework for 
Participatory Environmental Communication that weaves three widely used 
concepts, /diversity, network and agency/, into a cohesive underlying 
system to bring scholars, practitioners and diverse communities together 
in a dialogue about pressing environmental issues.

This book is a valuable resource for researchers and students in 
communication and media studies, environmental communication, cultural 
studies, and environmental sciences, as well as practitioners, policy 
makers and environmental activists.
