520 |a "Environmental issues are of growing concern in China, with numerous initiatives aimed at cultivating dialogue and increasing awareness. And key to these initiatives is the environmental journalist. The first English-language study of this burgeoning new field, this book investigates Chinese environmental journalists - their methodologies, their attitudes toward the environment, and their views on the significance of their work - and concludes that most respond enthusiastically to government promptings to report on the environment and climate change. Additional chapters demonstrate journalists' impact in helping to shape governmental decision-making."--Back cover blurb.
