Step Change in New Media’s Climate Coverage

Step Change in New Media’s Climate Coverage. News media is taking steps to improve its coverage of the climate emergency. Almost two-thirds of news executives believe their coverage is good, and half have created climate teams with additional staff. Many publishers have also developed strategies to improve their coverage, including creating a focus on solutions, incorporating humor and heart, and reducing their carbon footprint. Training programs and cross-country initiatives are being developed to increase awareness and share best practices in climate journalism.
