This book reveals how journalists in the Global North and Global
South mediate climate change by examining journalism and reporting
in Australia and Bangladesh. This dual analysis presents a unique
opportunity to examine the impacts of media and communication in
two contrasting countries (in terms of economy, income and
population size) which both face serious climate change challenges.
In reporting on these challenges, journalism as a political,
institutional, and cultural practice has a significant role to
play. It is influential in building public knowledge and
contributes to knowledge production and dialogue, however, the
question of who gets to speak and who doesn't, is a significant
determinant of journalists' capacity to establish authority and
assign cultural meaning to realities. By measuring the visibility
from presences and absences, the book explores the extent to which
the influences are similar or different in the two countries,
contrasting how journalists' communication power conditions public
thought on climate change. The investigation of climate
communication across the North-South divide is especially urgent
given the global commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
it is critical we gain a fuller understanding of the dynamics of
climate communication in low-emitting, low-income countries as much
as in the high emitters, high-income countries. This book
contributes to this understanding and highlights the value of a
dual analysis in being ably draw out parallels, as well as
divergences, which will directly assist in developing
cross-national strategies to help address the mounting challenge of
climate change. This book will be of great interest to students and
scholars of climate change and environmental journalism, as well as
media and communication studies more broadly.
