Climate change and the media

26 Jan 2010

The RISJ is co-hosting a panel discussion with four of the UK's most influential environment correspondents on the future of climate change reporting.  It will address key questions such as:How should the media keep the science at the forefront of the coverage? What are the key issues that the media should report on the row over the hacked e-mails from the University of East Anglia ("Climategate")? Surveys suggest that the public in the UK seems to be becoming more sceptical about the science of climate change: should the media give more voice to sceptics or ramp up the voice of scientists? The event will take place on 26 February at 5 pm.
