I read papers from WWII every week. I've done so since November 2016. The problem with WWII reporting is it gets real hard to see the big picture real quick. Battles in half a dozen places around the world no one's heard of. Plant strikes. Price controls. It all becomes noise.
Genuine question: What do you think needs to happen so that the public has a true sense of the existential threat we're facing? The urgency? What it would actually take to turn this around and avoid the worst of what's coming?
The entertainment industry, which has a greater share of public’s attention than journalism (sad but true), has the most potential to change public mindset. When *every* movie, streaming series, and celebrity is talking about the climate crisis, we’ll see mass mobilization.
@MaryHeglar had that same idea (scroll up to see the climate-themed reboots):https://twitter.com/MaryHeglar/status/1102644297348902912 …
It seems like we need to do a lot of reimagining.
I like @AlexSteffen's thinking in this piece, "It’s time for a whole new approach to climate journalism" https://thenearlynow.com/i-told-the-new-york-times-its-time-for-a-whole-new-approach-to-climate-journalism-450f41fd2ff5 …
@EricHolthaus and @SydneyAzari also working on this:https://twitter.com/EricHolthaus/status/1123392668644597761 …
We must attack the crucial taboo: state-corporate media are structured to look after corporate interests.https://twitter.com/ClimateBen/status/1142170489680539649?s=19 …
I really don't know. I think about it often. It seems to matter more to people when it affects them personally.
Well, in addition to doing a lot of "reimagining," part of it *must* be a critique of media institutions current failure on reporting on the climate crisis. Respectfully, that's what @GhostPanther was doing and what you balked at. Much media *is* silent and lacks urgency.
By the time the public has a true sense of the existential threat of #climatechange, in all likelihood, it'll be too late. The urgency is incomprehensible to most people. Real mitigation requires is a World War II level of mobilization by every government and major corporation.
People need to value their environment! People care about the things they value most
