Dear all,

During today's Thompson Lecture, Andy Dessler mentioned some of the ways
that the media interact with the infrastructure of doubt manufactured by
climate skeptics. His presentation brought the following seminar
announcement to my mind, which I thought others might find interesting.
Note that this CSTPR seminar will be web cast.

Enjoy,
Vanessa

Addressing public policy problems in an increasingly complex world relies
heavily on communication, interpretation, and use of information. Media are
one primary source through which information is disseminated, consumed, and
framed. Media are frequently referenced in the policy literature as
important mechanisms for policy change, a tool through which stakeholders
influence policy outcomes, or a measure of policy agendas. In this
presentation, I argue that scholars tend to simplify, overstate, or
misconstrue the influences that media can have on policy outcomes. This
presentation seeks to integrate these contributions from public policy,
political science, mass communication, and journalism studies to present
what we know and do not know about media influence in the policy process.
This presentation outlines the criteria from which policy scholars should
begin a robust discussion of the media-policy relationship beyond our
previous attempts to do so, attempting to more accurately describe and
analyze media influences on policy processes.

Studies faculty at the University of Colorado Boulder. She is Associate
Director of the Center for Environmental Journalism and affiliated with the
Center for Science & Technology Policy Research. She joined the faculty of
the School of Journalism and Mass Communication in 2008 and moved to the
Environmental Studies Program in 2012. Crow earned her PhD from Duke
University’s Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences and a
Masters of Public Administration from the University of Colorado at
Denver’s School of Public Affairs. Her research interests include
environmental policy and the role that mass media and other factors play in
policy decisions. She is particularly interested in environmental issues in
the western United States. Her current research includes studies on
environmental reporting trends, communication in environmental
policymaking, and stakeholder use of environmental messaging strategies.
Her previous research focuses on the adoption of non-consumptive
recreational water rights by Colorado communities and the factors that
influenced policy change within these communities, including mass media,
policy entrepreneurs, stakeholder group involvement, and citizen
engagement.
