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.
