This study explored influences on the coverage of environmental, public health, and politically created risks in the context of a case--the contamination of the public water supply in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada with a lethal strain of E. coli bacteria from agricultural run-off--through analyses of newspaper content and observations and in-depth interviews with Ontario journalists from a variety of print and broadcast media outlets in rural, suburban and urban areas.

520 $a This study explored influences on the coverage of environmental, public health, and politically created risks in the context of a case--the contamination of the public water supply in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada with a lethal strain of E. coli bacteria from agricultural run-off--through analyses of newspaper content and observations and in-depth interviews with Ontario journalists from a variety of print and broadcast media outlets in rural, suburban and urban areas.
520 $a Pre-crisis newspaper coverage offered very little "risk-alerting" information that might have directed the attention of relevant publics to the systemic interaction of factors that represented long-term threats to the safety of drinking water, as compared with the thousands of post-crisis articles. The pre-crisis risk information was couched in ways more likely to calm fears than raise awareness to potential risks.
520 $a Findings from the observations and interviews suggested the continued viability of media sociological theories as a way for understanding the strength of various influences on risk content, but strongly contest assumptions that individual journalists can have little impact in improving the quantity or quality of pre-crisis risk-alerting information, especially in rural areas, and point to the benefits of cooperative rather than competitive journalistic efforts.
