“…Existing media research has revealed that the media coverage on renewable energies is dominated by economic and technological aspects (Haigh, 2010;Sengers et al, 2010;Heras-Saizarbitoria et al, 2011;Wright and Reid, 2011;Skjølsvold, 2012; e.g., Eklöf and Mager, 2013;Hindmarsh, 2014;Romanach et al, 2015;Stauffacher et al, 2015). However, environmental aspects of renewable energies, including problems and benefits, also play a major role in media coverage (Thompson, 2005;Hindmarsh, 2014;Kim et al, 2014;Djerf-Pierre et al, 2015). Scholars have also observed that social aspects, such as highlighting social conflicts in the context of the implementation of energy infrastructure projects, have recently gained more attention in the news (Devine- Wright, 2011;Einsiedel et al, 2015).…”
