‘A richly perceptive, rigorously informed engagement with pressing challenges journalism faces when reporting climate change issues. This book recasts current debates from critical vantage points, successfully interweaving theory-building with empirical case studies to inspire fresh analytical perspectives – informed by strategic priorities – to open-up alternative ways forward. Highly recommended.’
