Talking about a revolution: climate change and the media
The paper reviews how the media reports on, and what people think about, climate change in different parts of the world. The issue has never been higher on the media’s agenda, yet problems persist in the way it is reported. While the media is not entirely to blame, it can do much to improve its telling of climate change stories.
