climate change media: reporting useful for social workers
A short note before we link to some fantastic media outlets and reporting:
​
In Australia, reporting on climate change by the mainstream media has been problematic. Many commentators have suggested that the Murdoch Press, for example, have run intentionally denialist and 'anti-action' stories consistently over several years. In light of this, it's imperative to apply your social work honed critical thinking skills when consuming media through mainstream outlets.
​
We encourage and support media outlets which provide balanced and accurate coverage to issues around climate change and its impacts. In particular, we recommend coverage provided by The Guardian news organisation. It is the only news service to produce an environmental pledge, which you can read here.
