Sadly, the media rarely use the word Geography when describing the content of programmes; an issue that that the newly formed “Put Geography in its Place” campaign aims to address.The media regularly broadcasts programmes about globalisation, famine, natural hazards, urban and rural change, global warming etc, but it is geography teachers who are engaging and informing young people about these issues. Is it too much to ask that the media tag their programming with the correct academic label?
A web site has been set up at www.passsion4geography.co.uk Do visit and sign the petition. Campaign logos can be downloaded from Juicy Geography Please use them to spread the word!
