Media has tried to cover water and environment sector for a long
time. Within environment and water sector is urban water sector;
this is generating a series of events that are converted into news.
The underlying problem in relation to his coverage on urban water
issues as news is there is little knowledge about media's process
of selecting water issues as news. And, what influences this
coverage has on urban water management. This thesis attempts to
find answers to this information gap. The study found that the
process of news making requires new, unusual and controversial
events that are selected through a series of gates; influenced by
individual journalist's traits and flair, combined with external
and internal influences of market, politics, public and idealism.
In urban water, events related to crisis, controversy, tariff,
pollution and private sector participation are considered news
worthy. However, consistency of coverage is lacking and the media
loses interest in the issues. Mainstream media is poorly equipped
to address urban water issues and requires to be trained. However,
news media does influence urban water management.
