Project Description
This project provides an analysis of how wind energy has been discussed in Irish popular media since 2000, through an examination of broadsheet coverage, thereby exploring such media analysis as a tool for monitoring trends in social acceptance of wind. The end product will identify trends and the changing nature of framing applied to wind energy/ surrounding the main concerns and so provide insight into how wind energy propositions could be alternatively framed.
