By Kyle Pope| Columbia Journalism Review Verified Is there a right way to cover the climate crisis? Until very recently, it was a struggle to get newsrooms to cover the story at all. Our organization, Covering Climate Now, was launched five years ago out of frustration, as too many journalists and publications failed to give the climate story the attention it deserved.
By Mark Hertsgaard Verified, Kyle Pope| Columbia Journalism Review Verified Fact one: more voters face national elections in 2024 than ever before in recorded history—about four billion people, nearly half the human population. Fact two: last year was the hottest in recorded history—and scientists warn that oil, gas, and coal burning must be rapidly phased out if we are to preserve a livable planet. Fact three: journalists too often don’t connect one fact with the other. By any reasonable journalistic standard, 2024 should be the year of the climate election.
