In this 2022 Special Issue of the Journalism and Media journal, communication professors Carrie Freeman and Núria Almiron curated scholarship assessing the impact this environmental havoc is having on nonhuman animals living in nature (including those free-roaming animals who coexist in our urban spaces) and the vital role that media and communication play in contributing to and remedying these crises. Seven scholars across the USA and Spain contributed chapters exploring how issues affecting “wildlife” (such as octopuses, sharks, coyotes, parakeets, and fishes) are constructed in media and political discourses or are perceived and acted upon by public media, and the authors provide prescriptions to problems facing animals in nature, offering constructive guidance to communicators (from activists to journalists to film-makers).HumanitiesbicsscSocial interactionbicsscwhite sharks (Carcharodon carcharias)shark-human conflictpredators/carnivores and perceived threatfearsciencepseudoscienceJawsmedia representationTiger KingCOVID-19 mediapopular culturezoosquarantinecaptive wildlifecreative/critical animal and media studiesrhetoricenvironmental communicationeudaimoniaethosmore-than-humansensitized compassionsixth mass extinctionRacing ExtinctionSeaspiracymanta raysanimal imagerycolonialismfishingshark fin tradecoyotesdiscourseneutralization techniqueskilling contestswildlife managementmonk parakeetMadridpress representationinvasive speciesconservationismcontrol methodsspeciesismframing analysistext analysissentiment analysisHumanitiesSocial interactionFreeman Carrie Pedt1145174Almiron NúriaedtFreeman Carrie PothAlmiron NúriaothBOOK9910674048103321Communication in Defense of Nonhuman Animals during an Extinction and Climate Crisis3059538UNINA
