(Not) Covering Climate Risks
Risks to soil health from increased flooding and drought due to climate change are a priority risk area for the UK government. Our analysis of newspaper coverage of this issue reveals very little attention to it in the two years following the release of the UK Climate Change Risk Assessment 2022 . We conduct a qualitative multimodal framing analysis of a population of 42 news reports and their 117 accompanying images. We identify two major issue …
Climate Solutions and Climate Attribution in Extreme Heat Press Coverage
Extreme weather events are short-term and have concrete impacts on local communities. This may make them easier to narrate for media outlets than the increases in global average temperatures. We use the historic July 2022 heatwave in the United Kingdom as a case study into how newsrooms cover extreme heat disasters and the extent to which they make an explicit connection to climate change. We examine reporting on climate solutions and climate att…
Climate Change Reporting and Green Energy Misdirection
The continental United States experienced a major cold snap in early 2021. The cold wave resulted in widespread, and deadly, power blackouts in the state of Texas. In this mixed-methods study, I examined the volume of English-language media coverage using a purposive sample from U.S. print and broadcast news sources. The results show that among mainstream media outlets those that are classified as “elite, climate specialist” ones were significant…
Connecting Extreme Heat Events to Climate Change
This research tests the popular press assumption that media are not discussing climate change in coverage of heat waves and wildfires. Change over time in English-language media coverage is assessed, from 2013 to 2018, including 37 news outlets from five countries, with the addition of Agence France-Presse and Climatewire. Mentions of climate issues increased for both types of extreme weather. Climatewire provided the highest degree of climate ch…
Fossil fuel divestment
The fossil fuel divestment movement has developed into an offshoot of the climate change movement in recent years. The movement has become increasingly effective at stigmatizing the fossil fuel industry. However, fossil fuel divestment remains poorly understood. Here, we apply the concept of theories of change to expand understanding of fossil fuel divestment through a thematic analysis of interviews with climate change and divestment activists. …
Mediated Skewed Diffusion of Issues Information
The modern media ecology has changed drastically over the last decade yet scholarly theoretical perspectives lag behind lay theories regarding news diffusion making it difficult to fully articulate and understand the processes driving dissemination of information and persuasion across networks and media contexts. The proposed theoretical framework takes into account extant research on the multiple mechanisms, specifically, cognitive ego involveme…
Visualizing the Paris Climate Talks on Twitter
In 2015, meeting in Paris for the Conference of the Parties (COP21), representatives of 195 nations set an ambitious goal to reach net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by mid-century. This research uses the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which took place in Paris during 30 November to 11 December 2015, as a case study of Twitter coverage of the talks by mainstream and alternative media outlets and other c…
Response to ‘Word choice as political speech’
In 2015, Hopke & Simis published an analysis of social media discourse around hydraulic fracturing. Grubert (2016) offered a commentary on the research, highlighting the politicization of terminology used in the discourse on this topic. The present article is a response to Grubert (2016)’s commentary, in which we elaborate on the distinctions between terminology used in social media discourse around hydraulic fracturing (namely, ‘frack,’ ‘frackin…
Discourse over a contested technology on Twitter
High-volume hydraulic fracturing, a drilling simulation technique commonly referred to as “fracking,” is a contested technology. In this article, we explore discourse over hydraulic fracturing and the shale industry on the social media platform Twitter during a period of heightened public contention regarding the application of the technology. We study the relative prominence of negative messaging about shale development in relation to pro-shale …
Translocal anti-fracking activism
In order to develop conceptual models that reflect the realities of networked communicative processes scholars must examine both the underlying network structure and the content of these ties. Using mixed methods, I apply a relational perspective to the role of digital technologies in transnational organizing, using activism against high-volume hydraulic fracturing as a case study. In-depth interviews are combined with social network analysis of …
Mobile phones and political participation in Colombia
In this article, we test the relationships between Twitter and Facebook use on mobile phones and political conversation with offline and online political participation, as well as online expressive communication. Our findings show that using Twitter on mobile phones is associated with a higher likelihood for both online and offline political participation, as well as online expressive communication. Using Facebook is associated with a higher like…
Hashtagging Politics
I examine a 2-week window into an environmental movement trying to gain traction in the public sphere, centered on a transnational day of action calling for a ban on the drilling technology, high-volume hydraulic fracturing, the Global Frackdown. Twitter serves a different purpose for the anti-fracking Global Frackdown movement than other Internet-based communications, most notably email listservs. Findings show that Global Frackdown tweeters eng…
Water Gives Life
This article explores mainstream and alternative press discourses of conflict over metallic mining in El Salvador. Through identifying mainstream and counter-frames, I show how an anti-mining movement achieved a position of short-term prominence within the dominant media discourse surrounding gold mining. However, even when the movement was able to break into the mainstream press, the resulting news coverage reproduced the nation-state's traditio…
