Description

Citizen Voices explores the ways in which citizen voices on science and environmental issues are articulated, heard, marginalized, and silenced in mass media, policymaking, and other public venues. In a range of case studies from countries across Europe and North America, contributors offer empirical insights about the articulation of citizen voices, as well as citizens’ scope for action in different national, cultural, and institutional contexts. Drawing on science and technology, environmental studies, and media and communication studies, they also present methods for foregrounding the role of communication in scientific and environmental governance.

European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA)
This series consists of books arising from the intellectual work of ECREA members. Books address themes relevant to the ECREA's interests; make a major contribution to the theory, research, practice and/or policy literature; are European in scope; and represent a diversity of perspectives. Book proposals are refereed.
Series Editors Nico Carpentier Francois Heinderyckx
Series Advisory Board Denis McQuail Robert Picard Jan Servaes
The aims of the ECREA are

a)    To provide a forum where researchers and others involved in communication and information research can meet and exchange information and documentation about their work. Its disciplinary focus will include media, (tele)communications and informatics research, including relevant approaches of human and social sciences;
b)   To encourage the development of research and systematic study, especially on subjects and areas where such work is not well developed;
c)    To stimulate academic and intellectual interest in media and communication research, and to promote communication and cooperation between members of the Association;
d)   To co-ordinate the circulation of information on communications research in Europe, with a view to establishing a database of ongoing research;
e)    To encourage, support and, where possible, publish the work of young researchers in Europe;
f)    To take into account the desirability of different languages and cultures in Europe;
g) To develop links with relevant national and international communication organizations and with professional communication researchers working for commercial organizations and regulatory institutions, both public and private;
h)   To promote the interests of communication research within and among the Member States of the Council of Europe and the European Union;
i)     To collect and disseminate information concerning the professional position of communication researchers in the European region; and
j)    To develop, improve and promote communication and media education.
