Covering Climate Crisis: Moving Beyond Doom-Scrolling to Solutions-Oriented Reporting

Climate change is the defining story of our century, yet audience fatigue and "doom-scrolling" pose significant challenges for effective reporting. This webinar focuses on the next evolution of climate journalism: moving from solely chronicling disasters to highlighting actionable solutions, policy debates, and community resilience. We'll explore how to frame the climate beat in ways that engage rather than paralyze audiences.

Our panel of award-winning climate correspondents and data visualization experts will discuss narrative techniques for humanizing complex science, effectively communicating data through interactive graphics, and holding corporations and governments accountable. We'll also address how to cover climate without falling into false balance or giving undue weight to denialism, while still representing diverse political viewpoints.

For environment reporters, editors, and science communicators, this session provides a vital reset. Learn how to produce climate coverage that is rigorous, compelling, and empowers your audience with agency and understanding, transforming anxiety into informed engagement.
