环境保护在当下中国具有较高的政治合法性与民意基础，使生态环境风险及其社会抗争极易获得高“媒体能见度”。公民基于“邻避情结”的社会抗争与新媒体驱动下的参与式传播，解构与颠覆“权利—资本”精英联盟下的环境风险论述，在表达自我的环境生存权益、监督和参与公共决策的同时，客观上也促进了环境公民社会与环保公共领域的浮现与生成，构成环境“善治”的前提。新媒体为公民记者赋权，促进基于新媒体平台的社会与国家的互动，拓展了民主的政治空间。新媒体构成环境善治的重要社会机制，而环境风险的“善治”强调公共参与、多元协商与理性妥协以及民主过程的开放和有效。

        Environmental protection has higher political legitimacy and public sentiment foundation in Contemporary China, which provides higher “media visibility” for the environment risk and it’s social resistance. The Participatory environmental communication based on “NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) syndrome” and new media, subverts the environment risk discussed by the "right-capital" elite alliance, expresses the citizen’s environmental existence rights, inspects and participates in public decision, and shapes the environmental civil society and environmental protection public realm, which constitutes the premise of the "good governance". The new media that empower citizens to report, are important social mechanism for "good governance", and environmental "good governance" emphasizes public participation, diverse consultation, reasonableness compromise, open and effective democracy process.
