“…While the attitude of caring for the environment is not influenced by the film, but by other elements, for example the habits in their family regarding waste treatment, and their courage to reprimand or report on perpetrators of environmental damage. The results of this study are not in line with research conducted by (Allgaier et al, 2020); (Meisyanti & Rahmawati, 2021); (Akerlof et al, 2021); (Park, 2013) which states that there are many media channels that can be used to educate students on environment awareness, for example, cartoons (Brown & Lindvall, 2019).…”

“…Technological and economic pressures have led to dramatic restructuring of news rooms and layoffs among journalists, which has disproportionately affected environmental journalists (Friedman, 2015). Aside from media, there are many other contexts in which environmental communication occurs (Akerlof et al, 2021). For example, it can play a role in social transformation, constructing or deconstructing communities through deliberation and discourse (Peterson et al, 2016).…”

“…The diversity of disciplines that contribute to the field of "environmental communication" that we found within this bibliometric study aligns with what we have from communicators themselves. Akerlof et al (2021) found four distinct perspectives among environmental communication professionals: capacity-builders, translators, policy and decision-supporters, and cultural changemakers. Each perspective has a somewhat different disciplinary focus with implications for the design of graduate education:…”

Recent reviews describe academic scholarship on environmental communication as a subdiscipline of communication studies focused on mass media. However, these reviews may not provide a full picture of the field. We searched one of the most comprehensive citation databases (Scopus) for articles published from 1970 to 2019 containing the root terms environment* communicat*. The dataset (n = 474) revealed an increase over time in the number of journals that publish environmental communication studies and the breadth of their National Science Foundation disciplinary categorizations. Climate communication, corporate social responsibility, and public engagement and participation represent the most frequent abstract topics. Through co-citation analysis of journals cited in references, we found that the foundational literatures informing the field have grown into dense, interconnected networks across disparate areas of scholarship that span the social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, and business. This disciplinary convergence is a positive sign for the field’s potential to address problems of societal importance.

“…SC, which originates as a diverse multidisciplinary field encompassing a wide array of perspectives (Akerlof et al, 2021), addresses the need for journalists with sufficient background knowledge in science, environment, economics, and social sciences to effectively cover environmental and scientific journalism (Witsen & Takahashi, 2018) and achieve the 17 SDGs set by the United Nations (UN, 2015). Therefore, according to the results of the study, graduate students engaging in interdisciplinary studies creatively address environmental topics and communicate with sufficient background, fostering social interaction and learning that could effectively cultivate environmental awareness (Jacobson et al, 2016).…”

This study aimed to construct a causal relationship model of factors influencing communication arts students’ qualification for sustainability communication (SC), examine the goodness-of-fit model with empirical data, and analyze the effect size of the causal relationship model in terms of influencing factors. Data were collected from 400 communication arts students using a set of questionnaires rated on a five-point scale. The results were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 and LISREL version 8.80 to determine the causal relationship model. The findings revealed that the construct of the causal relationship model of factors influencing SC of these students comprised four latent variables measured from 12 observed variables. Moreover, the influencing factors were consistent with the empirical data at a good level considering the accordance index, which consisted of x2 = 13.153, df = 25, p-Value = 0.974, RMSEA = 0.000, Standardized RMR = 0.006, GFI = 0.996, and AGFI = 0.979. The causal relationship model of the factors affecting SC revealed that education sustainable development could have direct, indirect, and total effects; the knowledge-based journalist concept could have direct, indirect, and total effects; and communication art principles could have direct and total effects, respectively.
