Overview

This book examines how journalism functions among “synergistic effects” of climate change, such as compounded impact of severe weather, social and political responses to changing global warming, and the often-unfortunate results and impacts on our environments. The volume emerges as global communities attempt to address climate events already challenging for journalists to cover and the social and cultural outcomes associated with them. Chapters in this book bring together global scholars and media practitioners who highlight digital challenges in covering the complexities of environmental change, from climate deniers and facts to longstanding and new approaches to covering heat, disaster, safety, mis- and dis-information, and data. These chapters provide conceptual and practical solutions to issues journalists (and scholars) face amidst global contestation and global warming to better communicate in an increasingly digital age. Journalism and Reporting Synergistic Effects of Climate Change will be an invaluable resource for scholars, researchers and practitioners in journalism, mass communication, media studies, environmental communication, communication studies, and sociology. It was originally published as a special issue of Journalism Practice.
