December 2017 *CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS* for

*Climate Change, Media & Culture: Critical Issues in Environmental 
Communication*

Edited by Juliet Pinto, Robert E. Gutsche, Jr., and Paola Prado

to be published by Emerald Publishers

*Abstracts deadline: 28 Feb 2018*

*Full manuscripts deadline: 1 July 2018*

The acceleration of massive global climate change provides a nexus for 
the examination of power,

political rhetoric, science communication, and sustainable development. 
This edited volume seeks

to understand how government policies, environmental news reports, 
corporate messages, and

social influences communicate the complexities of climate change to the 
public. In particular, this

work examines the roles that journalism, entertainment, and strategic 
messaging play in mediating

meanings of science, health, economy, and sustainable solutions.

The volume will assemble interdisciplinary research that offers a 
comparative view of 21st Century

communication regarding climate change. This work fills the gap in the 
literature with a critical

examination of the interfaces of mediated expressions communicated to 
the public through news

reports, strategic messages from corporate and civil society actors, and 
official sources. Climate

change communication is inherently interdisciplinary, global in scope 
but local in impacts;

therefore, understanding how media industries, journalists, advertisers, 
public relations

professionals, academics, governments, and scientists communicate 
climate change is of critical

importance.

Potential topics within this volume include:

• Communicating resilience through environmental journalism

• Engaging corporations in climate-change initiatives and advertising

• Analysis of climate deniers, from politicians and public conversation

• Challenges of communicating environmental justice

• Linguistics and storytelling of climate change explanations in the news

• The role of visual communication in capturing and addressing climate 
change

• Compressing the digital divide through innovative engagement about 
environments

• Altering social norms of environmental journalism in the era of Trump

• Communicating health impacts of climate change

• Racialization of climate change communication

• Effects of climate change on communicating issues of migration and 
mobility

• Content, strategies, audiences and messaging of environmental 
information across social

media platforms.

• Assessment of the current scholarly and practical approaches to 
communicating climate

change

Please submit an abstract (250 words or less) and 2-3 suggested

*2018*to Dr. Juliet Pinto ((jpinto /at/ fiu.edu)). Providing the abstract meets
