The public rely upon media representations to help interpret and make
sense of the many complexities relating to climate science and
governance. Media representations of climate issues – from news to
entertainment – are powerful and important links between people's
everyday realities and experiences, and the ways in which they are
discussed by scientists, policymakers and public actors. A dynamic mix
of influences – from internal workings of mass media such as
journalistic norms, to external political, economic, cultural and
social factors – shape what becomes a climate 'story'. Providing a
bridge between academic considerations and real world developments,
this book helps students, academic researchers and interested members
of the public make sense of media reporting on climate change as it
explores 'who speaks for climate' and what effects this may have on
the spectrum of possible responses to contemporary climate challenges.
