Media coverage can play an important role in framing natural disasters and influencing public understanding of disaster events and disaster management. How wildfire events are covered can affect public awareness and opinion of specific wildfires. Media coverage can also affect public perception of different aspects of wildfires and wildfire activity in general, and thus influence public support for different aspects of wildfire management.
