Abstract
ABSTRACT This article presents a content analysis of news coverage of three environmental disasters: the 2014 Mount Polley mine leak, the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. The aim is to better understand how political actors talk about industrial environmental disasters in their aftermath. Since most people understand dramatic events through news media, an examination of post-disaster media framing may begin to shed light on the variation of public response after disasters. Specifically, the findings challenge some prevailing assumptions about nonviolent protest mobilization and prompt a further investigation of the role of uncertainty in political participation.
