Das Medien-Klima

Media representations are a central source of information about global climate change for many people. Mass media highlight the relevance of the topic, break down global climate changes into regional contexts, and showcase the short-term effects of long-term changes. As a result, scientists, politicians, NGOs, and companies strive to make their voices heard in the media and to position themselves. Media constructions of climate change, their drivers, and effects have therefore increasingly come into focus in international communication research. This volume reviews the existing literature, presents the current state of knowledge, and outlines research perspectives.
