I am conducting a literature review and looking for suggested directions. Basic research question is "What effect does preferred news medium (TV vs Internet) have on one's awareness of local sustainable energy alternatives?" (I suspect an intervening variable may influence both preference and awareness, but...). This is part of an exercise in a research-methods class, so I'm doing the legwork - just appreciative of helpful keywords & ideas. "Environmental Communication" is my research focus, especially as it applies to freshwater and marine environments in north Florida. This particular bit is outside my focus, but it's a group project and they wouldn't let me dictate terms. :-)
Thanks in advance,

Sorry, the message got sent before I was finished! http://www.futerracom.org/auto.php?inc=ov&site_cat=6&site_sub=0&case=0 Solitaire Townsend, a member of this firm, recently gave a very dynamic presentation about climate change communication strategy and how to market the message to a given demographic. I have a copy of her slides which I can send to you, but I can't put the attachment on the mailing list so just let me know if you are interested.
Thanks,
Debbie
