Abstract
The previous chapter has discussed in detail the main features of the two environmental risk discourses identified in the coverage of investigative reports. A close link among environmental problems, economic activities and the failure of governance as well as between social and environmental inequalities characterises the two discourses, embodies prominent Marxist environmentalism and constructs an antagonism against state capitalism, the capitalist production mode and modernisation. Accounting for these features is how environmental investigative reporters report on environmental problems, which is the focus of this chapter.
