Overview

Closely aligned with our impact measure on freshwater awareness, understanding media trends and how media is advancing a narrative on freshwater is important to understand.

Though the top line measure is the change in volume of traditional media coverage, this measure should also help unpack whether news coverage gives an accurate reflection on the threats to and health of freshwater. As such, the end result needs to be more than just a numeric indicator but an analysis on what issues are getting coverage where in the country and how that is contributing to advancing efforts of OLW Network members to shape the freshwater narrative across the country.

5-Year target: To establish a process for, and identify, an initial benchmark for this impact measure.
