Abstract

ABSTRACT This article presents a content analysis of news coverage of three environmental disasters: the 2014 Mount Polley mine leak, the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. The aim is to better understand how political actors talk about industrial environmental disasters in their aftermath. Since most people understand dramatic events through news media, an examination of post-disaster media framing may begin to shed light on the variation of public response after disasters. Specifically, the findings challenge some prevailing assumptions about nonviolent protest mobilization and prompt a further investigation of the role of uncertainty in political participation.

构建非暴力抗议的环境灾难:内容分析

本文对2014年波利山矿泄漏事件、2010年深水地平线漏油事件和2011年福岛核泄漏事件这三起环境灾难的新闻报道进行了内容分析。其目的是更好地理解政治行为者如何谈论工业环境灾难的后果。由于大多数人通过新闻媒体了解戏剧性事件，对灾后媒体框架的研究可能会开始揭示灾后公众反应的变化。具体来说，研究结果挑战了一些关于非暴力抗议动员的主流假设，并促使人们进一步研究不确定性在政治参与中的作用。

期刊介绍： Environmental Communication is an international, peer-reviewed forum for multidisciplinary research and analysis assessing the many intersections among communication, media, society, and environmental issues. These include but are not limited to debates over climate change, natural resources, sustainability, conservation, wildlife, ecosystems, water, environmental health, food and agriculture, energy, and emerging technologies. Submissions should contribute to our understanding of scientific controversies, political developments, policy solutions, institutional change, cultural trends, media portrayals, public opinion and participation, and/or professional decisions. Articles often seek to bridge gaps between theory and practice, and are written in a style that is broadly accessible and engaging.
