“This volume is an immensely valuable appraisal of media treatments of climate change issues in 2018. Ten years from its initial foray, editors Benedetta Brevini and Justin Lewis have pulled in top scholars to interrogate how climate change is represented and refracted through critical themes associated with media representational practices in the 21st century. From material issues of coal and mining in Australia to historical pollution from media outlets themselves emanating from Europe, this volume provides insights that move these considerations forward on what to do in the face of climate change challenges in contemporary times. From discursive concerns regarding post-truth logics bubbling up through media globally to the reproduction of narratives in local Brazilian outlets, this book is a great set of analyses that helps advance our understanding of how depictions of climate change in the media shape public considerations. I highly rate and recommend this book for those who seeks to make sense of how media coverage of climate change shapes perspectives and actions in the public sphere.”—Max Boykoff, Associate Professor, Environmental Studies, University of Colorado-Boulder; Deputy Editor, <i>Climatic Change</i>
“<i>Climate Change and the Media</i> offers a timely and important contribution to current understandings of the role of media communication and practice in shaping the parameters of public and policy engagement on climate change. Providing a significant expansion on its first edition in 2009, this collection critically examines media frames and media practices within and across developed and developing countries, whilst also focusing much needed attention upon the significant role of imagery in media communication on climate change. Including established and emerging scholars, <i>Climate Change and the Media</i> illustrates the critical advances made within climate communication scholarship over the last decade. Yet these developments take place against a global political landscape that is consistently failing to put climate mitigation and adaptation into practice. This collection thus also highlights an urgent need in mediated communication on climate change: opportunities for audiences to discuss how to live ethically within, and contribute responsibly towards, climate-changed societies.”—Julie Doyle, Professor of Media and Communication, University of Brighton
