Not a priority: Barriers to environmental reporting in the Republic of Georgia

Not a priority: Barriers to environmental reporting in the Republic of Georgia Abstract Despite major ecological challenges and a pluralistic, partly free press system, news organizations in the Republic of Georgia generally provide little environmental coverage to their audiences. Interviews with journalists, media experts, and eco-NGO leaders identified four major reasons for the sparsity of coverage: shortcomings of journalists and news organizations; access to information and news sources; lack of priority; and lack of public demand. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied Environmental Education & Communication Taylor & Francis
