The Invisible Farm: The Worldwide Decline of Farm News and Agricultural Journalism Training : The Worldwide Decline of Farm News and Agricultural Journalism Training

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The nature of rural life and food production is changing dramatically but remains overlooked by the major media. The Invisible Farm provides the first substantial accounting of this problem, addressing issues such as habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, pollution, and soil degradation. Pawlick supplies readers with frightening examples of events taking place worldwide without public awareness.

Download Description
The overall aim of this thesis is to alert journalists and journalism educators to a serious lacuna in current news coverage, one which threatens the well-being of society. Simply stating that a gap in coverage exists, without giving examples, would be unlikely to convince members of such a notoriously skeptical profession. Newsmen and women, it seems, are all "from Missouri." They want to be shown. Part I: The importance of agriculture to society and of farm news to the general public. Part II. The importance assigned to agriculture by the major news media and journalism educators. --This text refers to the Digital edition.
