Ideas of `environmentalism' are often broad and imprecise, holding neither meaning nor currency.\nEnvironmentalism and Mass Media sheds new light on the diverse ideas of `environmentalism', the way environmental ideas circulate, and public reaction to environmental concerns conveyed by the media. Drawing on unique interviews with journalists, media pictures, and public opinion surveys in both UK and India, the authors outline the differing cultural, religious and political contexts against which `world views' form present a fascinating picture between North and South.\n Mass media and communication technology is in danger of lock.
