IN COLLABORATION WITH: CLIMATE EMERGENCY UNIT
Event description
In the face of the ever-expanding climate crisis, Canadians desperately need to be informed of its causes, its solutions and the actions they can take to confront it. With mis/disinformation running rampant, Canadian media organizations, like media organizations around the world, play a crucial role in covering climate change in ways that capture attention and drive impact, while also emphasizing solutions and justice.
Join us for the launch of Quiet Alarm: A Review of CBC's Climate Reporting and an engaging discussion with leading thinkers and practitioners on the role of Canadian media organizations in the climate emergency.
The report draws from community-engaged research project that coordinated 30 volunteers from across Canada to track the climate reporting on flagship CBC news programs over a two week period. The report's findings and recommendations aim to improve the climate reporting of the Canadian Broadcast Corporation but they also have relevance for the Canadian media sector more broadly.
