“…This situation highlights a broader trend: the lack of coverage of Indigenous environmental justice issues in mainstream media. This finding supports the argument of Moore and Lanthorn ( 2017 ) that Indigenous people face significant challenges in getting adequate media coverage when dealing with environmental issues.…”

In recent years, the issue of military waste disposal in oceans and seas has gained significant attention; however, the impact of such waste in freshwater deposits has been understudied. The Laurentian Great Lakes of North America contain 20% of the world’s fresh surface water and are particularly vulnerable to environmental stressors such as climate change, invasive species, and toxic chemicals, making the examination of military waste management in these waters crucial. This interdisciplinary study aims to investigate the legacy of two military waste disposal sites in Lake Superior, referred to as Site A (containing barrels) and Site B (containing bullets). Both are located within the ceded territories of the Ojibwe. Despite being in close proximity, these sites have had vastly different outcomes in terms of public concern, state and federal regulatory actions, and tribal restoration efforts. Based on this observation, this study aims to answer the following questions: How did these differences develop? How did military secrecy and the loss of memory influence the management of underwater military waste at each site? How do uncertainties and rumors continue to influence citizen concern and agency management of military waste? We argue for the importance of investigating the environmental legacies of underwater military waste in order to protect inland freshwater resources worldwide.

“…This is important because issues that are not picked up by the media are unlikely to receive much public attention. Topics related to American Indians often fall into the category of issues that are invisible, or under-covered in the mass media, as many scholars have illustrated (Campisteguy et al 2018;Leavitt et al 2015;Moore and Lanthorn 2017). Only "occasionally" do certain issues "(e.g., during the Red Power era) provide American Indians with an attentive national audience" (Deloria 1986, p. 203;Turner 2005, p. 16).…”

ObjectiveThis article examines how the limited national media reporting covered the pandemic in American Indian communities across the United States, specifically the Diné (Navajo) Nation, and whether and how this coverage differs from American Indian news sources.MethodsThis article compares coverage related to COVID‐19 by The New York Times (NYT) with coverage by the Navajo Times (NT), a Diné newspaper. The authors compiled their own database of news‐based articles published by the NYT and the NT covering the pandemic and its impact on Native Nations between January 1, 2020, and September 30, 2020, and conducted a comparative content analysis of these articles.ResultsWhile coverage was limited, the NYT articles highlight social inequities that settler colonialism and federal Indian law have fostered in the past and present, the cultural backdrop, which contributed to greater adverse impacts from COVID‐19. However, coverage differs from the NT in important ways, particularly when considering the distinction between the Navajo Nation as a bureaucratic entity versus the Diné people, the framing of Native peoples as adaptive, and Indigenous investment in future creation.ConclusionsThe NT was more nuanced in its coverage of stories of the impact of COVID‐19 on American Indian communities as compared to the NYT.

Coverage of National Priority List sites by the print media during the implementation of Superfund: the role of race and income

We review 1982–1984 articles identifying Superfund sites in three national newspapers. Articles almost never identify the race of nearby residents. Based on sites receiving disproportionate coverage, readers might conclude that Superfund generally affected white, working-class families, but results do not support this narrative. In a pooled sample, neither race nor income predicts the number of times a site gets mentioned. When the sample is partitioned by newspaper or by each newspaper's coverage of nearby sites, a positive relationship emerges between the proportion of Hispanic or nonwhite residents and the number of articles about a site. We discuss this apparent contradiction.
