Climate: How can the media adequately report on the climate crisis?

2022-05-10T10:56:21.331Z


Reporting on the climate has long been a blank. That has changed in many editorial offices. How can journalism do justice to the topic?


Climate newsletters, environmental departments and podcasts - media around the world are looking for ways and means to report appropriately on the climate crisis.

That wasn't the case for a long time: Reporting on the climate took place exclusively in science departments, far away from daily political events.

Although scientists warned at the time, the topic was not taken seriously.

That changed at the latest with the UN climate conference in Paris in 2015, with Greta Thunberg and the worldwide Fridays for Future protests.

But the ever closer impacts of recent years have also drawn attention to the climate: the fires in the Mediterranean region, the severe drought in the USA, the flood in the Ahr Valley.

The climate crisis is no longer just a topic for science editors.

It affects politics, economy, culture, even sports.

The green transformation will transform the way we live.

How can journalists do justice to this major topic - without falling into activism?

This episode of Klimabericht, the SPIEGEL podcast on the state of the planet, is about the media in the climate crisis.

We ask ourselves: how can we adequately report on the climate?

The guest this time is the climate researcher Stefan Rahmstorf.
