The climate crisis should be the front page, top stories of every media we watch, read, listen to. Every story needs to be seen through a climate lens to help people connect dots, grapple with what’s at stake, and understand the scale and urgency that’s required.https://twitter.com/GhostPanther/status/1141226371085004801 …

Journalists covering the climate crisis have one of THE most important jobs. Hats off to them. Media *institutions* fail us by not covering the climate emergency like the existential threat it is. Think media during WWII. Do we see anything like that? No.https://twitter.com/WolfeReports/status/1141568173046673414 …

Wes Wolfe @WolfeReportsPart of my job is covering the environment. I regularly report on climate change and environmental degradation. So do literally dozens of reporters at dozens of outlets in the U.S., coast to coast. We're. Not. Effing. Silent. And look, this is QTing a story by the BBC. https://twitter.com/GhostPanther/status/1141226371085004801 …Show this thread2 replies 1 retweet 8 likesShow this thread -

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?

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 …

We must attack the crucial taboo: state-corporate media are structured to look after corporate interests.https://twitter.com/ClimateBen/status/1142170489680539649?s=19 …

Ben See @ClimateBenReplying to @EricHolthausThe key element in the search for answers is getting people to realise that they'll find neither 1) a true reflection of scientific reality, nor 2) common sense, non-market, emergency solutions in state-corporate media. The Herman/Chomsky propaganda model reveals the problem.0 replies 0 retweets 6 likesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
