Press and Planet in Danger

A new report from Internews’ Earth Journalism Network (EJN) and Deakin University, “Covering the Planet: Assessing the State of Climate and Environmental Journalism Globally,” documents urgent challenges confronting climate and environmental journalists across the globe, including 39% experiencing threats as a result of their work; and almost two-thirds feeling obliged to use climate skeptics as sources for “balance.”
The report, Covering the Planet: Assessing the State of Climate and Environmental Journalism Globally, is based on a survey of 744 journalists and editors in 102 countries and in-depth interviews with 74 journalists in 31 countries. The study asked how journalists conduct their climate and environmental reporting – and what they require in order to do it better, as the deadlines for international treaty commitments fast approach. This is the first truly global – and potentially the largest ever – investigation of the state of climate change and environmental journalism, incorporating the voices and insights of journalists and editors from around the world. Read The Guardian’s coverage of the report.
