This chapter examines characteristics of different genres in relation to environmental communication. Each genre offers specific affordances and constraints that should be considered by environmental communicators and the goals they are trying to achieve. The genres that are explored include the following: online spaces, journalism, reports, essays, and books. An existing example of each genre is provided and then examined to illustrate what makes each one unique. The content in this chapter should help environmental communicators consider what type of genre to use for their writing.
