Donna Nicolino (center) came to the protest ready to be arrested: “We want the New York Times as well as all the other media to treat climate change as the crisis it is.” She’s in a line of people with arms linked on 40th and Eighth, blocking the road.pic.twitter.com/LYZE1TzPst

New sign encourages the Times to use the same style for climate change as the Guardian does: climate emergency https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/may/17/why-the-guardian-is-changing-the-language-it-uses-about-the-environment …pic.twitter.com/imxWtPFjM5

The New York Times responds to the protest: “There is no national news organization that devotes more time, staff or resources to producing deeply reported coverage to help readers understand climate change than The New York Times."https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jun/22/new-york-times-protest-climate-crisis-coverage …
Just like all adept corporate news agencies to deliver self-congratulatory though defensive and misleading statements under the assumption that there is an entire lack of reading & listening comprehension in our nation.pic.twitter.com/kt1TITEuXx
The statement is true, though. I am one of about a dozen people who work on nothing but climate coverage for the NYT, and we’re only a fraction of the number of people whose stories deal with climate issues. It’s a massive effort by the Times to cover climate change.
We can always do better, I’ll try to do better all the time. But no one is doing more in U.S. journalism to cover this.
This is true! Thank you! And yet...unfortunately, the NYT’s approach to covering climate is not where it needs to be. This is not a personal failing. It seems like it’s structural.
Idea: could there be a workshop, possibly facilitated by designers who deeply understand journalism + design thinking, where climate journalists get to brainstorm and share approaches, best practices, blue sky thinking on climate coverage?
It’s so easy to get buried in the weeds of our work (this happens to me). It can be so helpful to carve out time to step back and (re)imagine, think big with others about new tools and strategies for tackling this very gnarly problem: the climate crisis.
Thanks for listening
