Abstract:

This chapter investigates the media’s journalistic response to water rights and the sharing and handling of resources in two countries diametrically positioned with regard to water resources, Australia and Bangladesh. One is the driest continent on earth and the other in frequent danger of inundations and rising sea levels. The case studies chosen are the reporting of the Murray-Darling basin issue in Australia and the Ganga-Brahmaputra river system in Bangladesh. The findings highlight the inadequacy of traditional media ethics and the capture of journalists in their own procedural, organizational, and geographical confines. In depicting Australia and Bangladesh, the chapter highlights commonalities but eschews simplistic answers that may suit some regions of the world but not others and outlines ways for journalistic writing to strengthen its engagement in matters of environmental justice.
