Communications Reports
Our media partner, Resource Media, prepared these reports for Carpe Diem West as part of our communications research project. In March 2009, Resource Media conducted a comprehensive framing analysis of existing media coverage and public opinion data on the issues of climate change and water in the West. Subsequent reports build on the findings of this analysis and provide guidelines for speaking and writing effectively about solutions to the West’s water woes.
