Hitting Reset: covering climate after COP26
The run-up to COP26 has finally put the climate crisis at the top of the news agenda, generating an explosion of climate-related reporting, writing and reflection: ambitious new podcasts, analyses, essays, poems, even a seismic pivot by News Corp tabloids to launch a 'Mission Zero' campaign.
This specialist panel explores what climate coverage will look like beyond COP26. Is denialism dead, or just shifting gear into deflection, division, doomism? Is the balance question now about hope versus fear? What are the challenges and responsibilities for journalists and journalism, writers and editors, as the impacts of global heating play out?
