The media has long shaped how communities think about pressing societal problems. It shapes whose voices count, what evidence is shared, and what solutions are presented. Today, technological innovations and corporate consolidation are dramatically changing the media landscape, which is impacting conversations about global challenges like climate change. Join us for a conversation about how the media is currently shaping the narrative around climate change.
Join us for a conversation with UW faculty Adrienne Russell, James Lee from Front and Centered, and climate journalist Cherelle Jackson about how the media is currently shaping the narrative around climate change.
