Abstract

Overall, I A Strategic Nature i makes a compelling case for recognizing PR agents as important environmental actors, as well as the limits of a PR-based climate strategy predicated on framing, information, and the politics of knowledge. I A Strategic Nature i , written by media studies scholar Melissa Aronczyk and sociologist Maria Espinoza, explores the role of public relations (PR) in American environmentalism, showing how the industry has quietly molded environmental politics as we know them today. The information and communication strategies innovated by Pinchot evolved throughout the twentieth century as the PR industry took shape and positioned itself as an integral partner in sustaining the industrial economy.
