Climate Journalism - Sammy Roth, Stephanie Abrams, Kira Akerman

In this episode, we’re exploring the world of climate journalism – specifically how climate change is covered across a variety of media from short form rapid response news to long form narrative documentaries – and how it's evolved over the years.

First, Executive Director of Climate Group North America Angela Barranco joins with Sammy Roth, Climate Columnist at the L.A. Times and host of the new podcast Boiling Point, on how major print publications are covering climate and communicating climate risk, how this has changed, and what we can do to combat misinformation.

Then, Climate Group’s Adam Lake speaks with Stephanie Abrams, Meteorologist at The Weather Channel, to explore how broadcast coverage of climate change has evolved and how audiences are responding to more frequent instances of extreme weather. 

Finally, Climate Group’s Liisa Kaufman joins with Kira Akerman, Director of the climate change documentary Hollow Tree, to walk us through her filmmaking process and how longform media and storytelling can shape the narrative around climate action.
