One important part of the Center for Environmental Journalism’s mission is to conduct research on the various aspects of media and environmental issues. This can include everything from risk communication to environmental politics and religion. Here at the CEJ, faculty and students work together and individually to help create new knowledge regarding the roles that media play in helping form our environmental values, policies and behaviors. A sample of our faculty work can be viewed below (click on the image to view).
