- How can traditional and digital media effectively communicate important environmental issues (especially global warming)?
- How do media technologies and creative processes influence the presentation and portrayal of environmental issues?
- How are environmental issues covered – or not -- by different media forms and outlets?
- How can media coverage influence public perceptions, understandings and actions concerning the environment?
This multi-media event will bring together media creators and producers, journalists, scientists, web masters, media researchers, international agency coordinators, and the audience. The sessions will show a wide variety of environmental media content, including web video, documentary films, and commercial advertisements. The presentations and discussions will
explore the technological, economic, political, and social challenges involved in creating environmental media content for traditional and new media outlets, and for improving public understanding and action concerning the environment.
There will be several opportunities for audience involvement. Media and environmental organizations are invited to provide their materials in the Corwin Pavilion entry hall.
