- The category of News is defined as offering material on a daily basis, whereas Periodicals are published on a less-than-daily basis. Classif-
ying them this way can be a judgement call since, partly due to the transition from print to web-based format, it can be difficult to
distinguish some older “weekly” or “monthly” sources (for example, Time and New Scientist) that now publish stories on a near-daily (or
at least continuous) basis.
- This page focuses on the press as an "actor" in environmental affairs
& contains resources evaluating the utility & bias of differing
environmental news sources.
