Conflict and coexistence
Framing the Wind
Media coverage shapes public acceptance of renewable energy, but how offshore wind is being communicated to the public, particularly in the United States, is understudied. This study investigates the framing approaches of media coverage of the first two large-scale offshore wind projects in the U.S. We find that most coverage is local, with media coverage increasing during debates around permitting, construction, and community impacts. Emphasis f…

Perceived misinformation in offshore wind
Communication silos
Legitimacy through representation? Media sources and discourses of offshore wind development
Introduction The choice of which individuals and entities to include as sources in newspaper articles is an important decision for journalists, in large part because they can shape how readers understand the issue and which arguments become most salient. This is particularly important for issues that are relatively new or unknown to readers. The growing topic of offshore wind in the United States is a prime example of an issue that many people ar…

Gatekeeping and Communities in Energy Transition
The Block Island Wind Farm (BIWF) is the first offshore wind farm in the United States. Using gatekeeping theory as a framework, this research analyzes local and regional/national newspaper coverage of the BIWF paying particular attention to the use of sources. The data suggest that the differences between newspaper source usage from 1 January 2008 to 1 July 2017 is minimal. However, business sources appeared more than any other group, including …

Conceptualizing Coastal Ecosystem-Based Management
Ecosystem-based management (EBM) is widely touted as the preferred approach to coastal and environmental management, yet there are relatively few examples of this approach in practice. One possible reason is that this approach places extreme mental demands on practitioners. Mental models are individuals’ internal conceptualizations of external problems or phenomena, and are important because they inform communication and decision making. Thus, an…
