Hot Takes

Every Journalist's Guide to Covering Climate Change

Island Press

Climate change affects every aspect of our lives—which means it plays a role in every news story. As a journalist, helping your audience understand these climate connections is part of the job, whether you cover healthcare, economics, politics, sports, or any other beat. We are all climate journalists now.

Yet most of us weren’t taught about human-driven climate change in journalism school or while reporting stories in our newsrooms. You may know the basic science. But how about the major policies that determine global climate action or the growing number of legal climate-related cases? Have you considered what it means to practice journalism that focuses on solutions or how race and climate intersect?  

Chances are, you could use some guidance on how to report on this endlessly complex issue. Hot Takes engages the big questions that will determine how climate change is covered, and the stories we tell our audiences and ourselves.
