Environmental journalism: pursuing quality coverage of a global crisis - a podcast by International Press Institute

A recent study published by IPI under the title “The change we need: Strategies to support climate and environmental journalism” critically analyses different approaches adopted by media to produce and deliver fact-based, public-interest climate news.

The study also finds a clear need for more resources, strategies, training, and investment to ensure climate and environmental journalism reaches audiences and contributes to finding solutions to the crisis.

In this episode, experts on climate and environmental journalism discuss how to ensure the success of our environmental coverage, which types of content and formats address the needs of our audiences, which type of impact are we looking at generating and, most importantly, how to mobilize the necessary resources.
