As flooding, drought and water scarcity become more pronounced due
to climate change, so the way in which these events are presented
in the media assumes greater significance. In particular, the media
plays an important role in shaping the public perception and
understanding of water issues, and debates around extreme weather
events more generally. Joanne Garde-Hansen's book offers a
sustained and comprehensive exploration of media representations of
water. Drawing on a wide range of media - including newspapers,
digital, photography, radio, television and video, as well as
empirical research on media and memory - she examines how drought,
flooding and water management have been portrayed in the media,
both historically and in the contemporary world. The use of the
media by water institutions to manage public perceptions and the
use of digital media by the public to engage with water companies
is also included. A particular feature of the book is an
examination of water and gender in developed nations. One of the
first books to look at media representations of water, this
pioneering work provides valuable insights for both scholarly and
professional water research.
