2023 Topic – Reporting on Climate Change – and its Significance for Democracy

Climate change poses new challenges not only to society, politics and the economy, but also to journalism. Climate journalism, until recently a marginal phenomenon, is increasingly moving into the focus of media houses and editorial offices.

Climate change is one of the greatest threats of the 20th century, affecting all aspects of our lives: society, the economy, supply chains, work, agriculture, health, food, mobility. It is fuelling fear, insecurity, social division, lack of freedom, migration, poverty – and thus the health and resilience of democracy around the world. In this context, high-quality, fact-based and objective journalism is particularly important. How we report on climate change, its consequences and societal options for action is crucial to addressing this major threat. Meanwhile, voices are being raised that journalism needs to change in order for this to happen. This is because journalism, especially crisis reporting, has traditionally focused on covering events rather than processes. Climate change, however, is a process for which newsrooms often struggle to find the right images. More and more newsrooms are setting up climate editors and producing climate features.

Together with the participants, the organisers want to develop what this new journalism can look like, based on successful examples. They want to examine the quality of climate reporting in different European countries, look at it from different perspectives and work out criteria for successful climate journalism, taking into account the conditions in the different European home countries of the participants. One day of the workshop will introduce participants to investigative research on environmental risks and impacts at the international level. At the end of the workshop, the results will be summarised and presented by the M100YEJ participants at the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium on 14 September in Potsdam.
