Abstract
The role of journalists in creating awareness of environmental problems in Asia is described. Poverty, unchecked population growth, deforestation coral reef destruction, desertification and air pollution are some of the more glaring problems. Some of the constraints on reporting which are discussed include government censorship, high-level private interference, editorial bias, lack of training in journalism and environmental sciences, and difficulty in locating sources. Workshops for the training of environmental journalists have been sponsored by the United Nations Environment Programme and by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. Other self-training methods are described that should help journalists develop uniformity and consistency in reporting.
