Extreme Weather and Global Media
Edited by Julia Leyda and Diane Negra
This timely collection pinpoints the features of an often overlooked yet rapidly expanding category of global media and analyzes both its forms and functions.
Incorporating a range of case studies of extreme weather mediation in India, the UK, Germany, Sweden, the US, and Japan, and exploring recent and ongoing disasters such as Superstorm Sandy, the Fukushima nuclear crisis, flooding in Germany, and heat waves in the UK, Extreme Weather and Global Media generates valuable inquiry into the representational and social characteristics of the new culture of extreme weather.
Reviews:
