Media representation of climate change and transformative action Sample Clauses

Media representation of climate change and transformative action. (Cherry & Xxxxx). The media are important actors in the construction of public and policy discourses, acting as both an arena for debate and information provision, and weaving their own cultural and political meanings around issues and events. Media reporting is known to shape wider public discourses and imaginaries circulating across society53. While there has been extensive research surrounding media representations of climate change as an issue54, there has been little research into how discourses around transformative change and radical decarbonisation are emerging. Project 1.5 will address this gap in the literature. For both the UK and comparator countries, a corpus of articles will be collated for each of the challenging areas using the Nexis database. Data will be collected from sources across the political spectrum, e.g., in the UK this would include a range of broadsheet and tabloid sources. Our analysis will explore when and how discursive shifts emerge, identifying: (a) the narratives that currently dominate media discourse and how these are changing; and (b) the discursive frames and assumptions that construct these storylines, including in relation to values and co-benefits, and responsibility at different scales. In conjunction with 1.1, 1.2 and 1.4, we will explore how media discourses are linked to public understanding and perceptions. Making use of both qualitative and quantitative data (e.g., prevalence of particular narratives over time), we will conduct a comparative analysis, examining how ideas about transformation in the four challenging areas are entering individuals’ understandings of climate change mitigation.
