Founding member Bruno Takahashi and his colleague Sonny Rosenthal have a new edited book out of case studies of environmental communication in minority communities. Entitled Environmental Communication Among Minority Populations, the book features 6 studies. Takahashi is Research Director and Associate Professor at the Knight Center for Environmental Journalism, Michigan State University, USA. Rosenthal is Assistant Professor at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

IECA founding member Anders Hansen, University of Leicester, UK, publishes a new edition of Environment, Media and Communication.

The second edition builds on the first edition’s framework for analysing and understanding media and communication roles in the politics of the environment. It draws on the significant and continuing growth and advances in the field of environmental communication research to show the increasing diversification and complexity of environmental communication. The book highlights the persistent urgency of examining how communication about the environment is being influenced and manipulated, with implications for how and indeed whether environmental challenges are being addressed and dealt with.
