  • Niche climate news sites and the changing context of covering catastrophe

    Open AccessA Russell, Jarkko Kangas et al.ARTICLEJournalism2023

    One of the most significant and understudied changes in climate journalism in recent years, and the focus us this study, is the establishment of new niche sites. These sites, which are dedicated exclusively to covering climate-related issues, are now some of the most important sources of climate information. Drawing on interviews with site founders and editors, we explore the experiences and knowledge of these climate journalism innovators to gle…

  • Visual portrayals of fun in the sun in European news outlets misrepresent heatwave risks

    Open AccessSaffron O''Neill, Sylvia Hayes et al.ARTICLEGeographical Journal2023Cited by: 15References: 46

    The ways in which news media communicate about heatwaves can influence how society conceptualises and addresses heatwave risks. We examined visual news coverage of the 2019 heatwaves in France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK, using content and visual critical discourse analyses. Many visuals were positively valenced (in contrast to article texts), framing heatwaves as ‘fun in the sun’. The most prevalent type of images in all countries were …

  • The Science of Climate Conversations

    Open AccessJoshua Ettinger, John Painter et al.ARTICLESocial Media + Society2023Cited by: 1References: 38

    Dialogue-based approaches are crucially important for engaging the public about climate change. This entails going beyond a one-way information transfer to facilitating spaces in which diverse individuals can express their beliefs, emotions, opinions, and uncertainties about climate change in discussions with others. However, only a limited number of empirical studies have been published on best practices, dynamics, and effects of climate convers…

  • One person’s meat is another’s poison

    Open AccessGilly Mroz, John Painter et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2022

    Mainstream media play a central role in shaping the ways diet and nutrition are discussed in the public sphere, yet few studies have explored its depictions of the meat-health nexus. Focusing on eight of the most popular news online sites consumed by lower-income groups in the UK—the demographic most likely to eat meat, according to a survey conducted for this study—we carried out content analysis of 128 articles. We found, first, a multiplicity …

  • “What’s Up with the Weather?” Public Engagement with Extreme Event Attribution in the United Kingdom

    Open AccessJoshua Ettinger, Peter Walton et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2021

    The science of extreme event attribution (EEA)—which connects specific extreme weather events with anthropogenic climate change—could prove useful for engaging the public about climate change. However, there is limited empirical research examining EEA as a climate change communication tool. To help fill this gap, we conducted focus groups with members of the U.K. public to explore benefits and challenges of utilizing EEA results in climate change…

  • Media Representation of Extreme Event Attribution

    Open AccessShannon Osaka, John Painter et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2020

    Extreme event attribution (EEA) is a relatively new branch of climate science combining weather observations and modeling to assess and quantify whether and to what extent anthropogenic climate change altered extreme weather events (such as heat waves, droughts, and floods). Such weather events are frequently depicted in the media, which enhances the potential of EEA coverage to serve as a tool to communicate on-the-ground climate impacts to the …

  • Climate Change In The Media

    John Painter, James PainterBOOKClimate Change in the Media2013

    Scientists and politicians are increasingly using the language of risk to describe the climate change challenge. Some researchers have argued that stressing the ‘risks‘ posed by climate change rather than the ‘uncertainties‘ can create a more helpful context for policy makers and a stronger response from the public. However, understanding the concepts of risk and uncertainty - and how to communicate them – is a hotly debated issue. In this book, …

  • Cross-national comparison of the presence of climate scepticism in the print media in six countries, 2007–10

    Open AccessJohn Painter, James Painter et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2012

    Previous academic research on climate scepticism has tended to focus more on the way it has been organized, its tactics and its impact on policy outputs than on its prevalence in the media. Most of the literature has centred on the USA, where scepticism first appeared in an organized and politically effective form. This letter contrasts the way climate scepticism in its different forms is manifested in the print media in the USA and five other co…
