Abstract:

Telling the media about environmental risk may be the least pleasant part of a decision maker's work, but it needn't be. Once you understand the media�what they cover, how they cover it, and what they will report�you will be able to communicate wwith reporters more easily. By improving your own performance as a source, you can bring about a real improvement in media coverage of environmental risk.
