This study examines how domestic alternative media reported the first wave of the COVID- 19 pandemic in Canada. It pays special attention to whether the Conversation Canada, as an emerging not-for-profit journalism organization founded on the premise of “explanatory journalism”, has taken a different approach to COVID-19 reporting than three long- standing Canadian alternative media: Canada’s National Observer, Rabble, and Tyee. A combination of quantitative content analysis and qualitative discourse analysis found that the pandemic’s far-reaching impacts gained the main emphasis in the surveyed media. These media also provided slightly divergent accounts of what precipitated the pandemic’s disastrous results. Additionally, the way the Conversation Canada framed COVID-19 expressed a close resemblance to academic writing, especially in terms of the strategic use of in-text citations for making compelling arguments. These findings highlight the indispensable role that progressive alternative media play in the effective public communication of COVID-19.

International concerns about clean water are increasingly being discussed in the news media. However, research investigating how local and regional publications cover water issues such as water pollution is limited. Nebraska is an agricultural state in the Midwestern United States situated above a large aquifer that provides drinking water to nearly 90% of the state and supports the irrigation of crops, feeding the state’s economy. A study of reporting in newspapers in Nebraska on the primary contaminant in the state’s groundwater - nitrates - were pulled from an electronic database over a four-year period to examine the quantity and types of news stories on this environmental concern in Nebraska. The paper sought to understand the existing outputs of community Critical Information Needs (CINs) around environmental coverage. Stories printed in newspapers from 2017 to 2020 showed that there is a lack of substantive, local, reporter-bylined stories on nitrate contamination in Nebraska’s water. In particular, the stories printed in weekly newspapers were rarely about the topic, thus leaving a large segment of the state without comprehensive coverage of this issue.

In contemporary society, social gaps and sustainability issues have affected several facets of human and community development. These challenges are further enhanced by negligible public action and media coverage is essential to enhancing public action. In this paper, a systematic review of literature is conducted for evaluating the aspects of modern media narratives that may have contributed to existing public perceptions of sustainability. Additionally, conceptual frameworks are established concerning how media narratives can influence public perception and opinion for actionable intervention. The results show that collective perception is essential for public action, and can be achieved through directing media narratives at social confines that define the targeted public. The paper also proposed a 3-D model for public news reception that defines the possibility or prevalence of public action. The results imply that; (a) public perception can be shaped through a social or indirect approach and (b) Activism and social change can be pursued along the 3-D model for public news reception.
