The Media Show: Climate Change and the Challenge for Media

Climate Change and the Challenge for Media

BBC News Channel - The Media Show, Climate Change and the Challenge for Media

Should journalists dispense with objectivity and become activists to save the planet?

Heat pumps, net zero, decarbonisation, the Paris agreement. With less than two weeks to go until Cop26, we’re being deluged with detail and jargon. But how much do you actually understand about climate change? Do you even know what COP actually stands for? (It’s Conference of the Parties if you don’t). Katie Razzall asks what role the media has in educating us about climate change. Maybe you feel hectored rather than informed? Or maybe you think the media isn’t going far enough; if we now face an existential crisis, should journalists dispense with the notion of objectivity and become activists in the fight to save the planet?

The guests are: Daniela Chiaretti, environment reporter at Brazil’s biggest financial newspaper Valor Econômico, Natasha Clark, environment correspondent for The Sun, Tom Chivers, science editor for UnHerd, and Wolfgang Blau, co-founder of the Oxford Climate Journalism Network.
