Abstract

The Journal of Environmental Media (JEM) explores the role of digital culture and emergent media in shaping environmentally-themed content and activism, communicating environmental data and impacting social perceptions of the environment. JEM is a scholarly platform aimed at bridging work in environmental studies, digital culture studies, environmental justice, media industry studies, science and technology studies, media anthropology and environmental communication, covering a range of environmental issues such as climate change, environmental racism, renewable and fossil fuel infrastructures, species extinction, climate migration and e-waste. We promote work that engages with diverse methodological and disciplinary approaches, bringing social science research into dialogue with environmental humanities discourses on production cultures, screen studies and environmental justice. JEM includes a broad landscape of media forms and practices, including smart technology, machine learning, popular media and streaming services, social media platforms, apps and new developments in augmented reality and virtual reality.
