Abstract
Abstract: Media Hype Vs. the Real Issues of
Environmental Cleanup
By
Information and education about environmental issues
continues to be "event driven," and this process has actually
impeded progress on several fronts. The emotionalism and
outrage that accompany "events" creates an atmosphere
that is not conducive to the learning, fact-finding process.
Real issues, such as sound 
waste
management
practices,
chemical exposure risk, and the establishment of safe
operating standards are frequently lost in the wake of such
events. Attendant media coverage only perpetuates and
exacerbates these conditions.
