Climate Change Coverage in Greek Newspapers: 2001–2008

Media coverage of climate change information by the Tanzania Guardian and Daily News in 2015

“…On the whole, the mass media are fundamental in the climate change debate in understanding and reducing its adverse impacts. They influence people's actions towards climate change mitigation and adaptation (Gkiouzepas and Botetzagias 2017). Newspaper coverage is an integral interpretive function in helping readers to clarify and have an extensive awareness and understanding on a particular contentious issue such as climate change by reflecting on local and international discourses (Pulver and Sainz-Santamaria 2017).…”

“…Some of the empirical research studies were conducted by Trumbo (1996) and in the United States; Stoddart, Haluza-Delay and Tindall (2016) in Canada; and Poberezhskaya (2015) in Russia. Other studies were carried out by Pulver and Sainz-Santamaría (2017) in Mexico; Horta, Carvalho and Schmidt (2017) in Portugal; Gkiouzepas and Botetzagias (2017) in Greece;Lyytimaki (2012) in Finland;Dotson, Jacobson, Kaid, and Carlton (2012) in Chile; Brossard, Shanahan, and McComas (2004) in France and the US; and Shehata and Hopmann (2012) in the US and Sweden. Studies conducted in African countries include those by Kweka (2013) and Tairo (2013) in Tanzania; Osindo (2012) in Kenya, Cramer (2008) in South Africa, Batta, Ashong and Bashir (2013); Nwabueze, Nnaemeka, Umeora and Okika (2015) and Ukonu, Akpan and Anorue (2012) in Nigeria and Tgabo (2010) in Nigeria and South Africa.…”

“…Rogers (2003) found that mass media channels create awareness and knowledge in a wider audience than interpersonal channels. Indeed, mass media are fundamental in framing environmental issues, creating awareness, promoting understanding and informing decision on addressing climate change (Gkiouzepas and Botetzagias 2017). In recent years, mass media channels such as newspapers, television, radio, cell phones and websites have gained wide application in promoting awareness among and communicating climate change information to the public (Sampei and Aoyagi-Usui 2009;Castells 2009, Ashworth, Jeanneret, Gaedner andShaw 2011;Kapinga 2014;Elia 2017).…”

Nature Articulations in Norwegian Advertising Discourse: A Depoliticized Discourse of Climate Change

“…In line with this, numerous researchers have discussed debates on climate change in public discourse (i.e. Doyle, 2013;Gkiouzepas & Botetzagias, 2015;Maeseele & Pepermans, 2017;Maeseele, Raeijmaekers, Van der Steen, Reul, & Paulussen, 2017;Pepermans & Maeseele, 2014;Schmidt, Ivanova, & Schäfer, 2013;Stoddart, Tindall, Smith, & Haluza-Delay, 2017;Swyngedouw, 2011Swyngedouw, , 2013), yet there is a call for scholarship that brings forth knowledge on local meanings of climate and their relationship to human institutions and behavior more broadly (Pearce et al, 2017), more directly dealing with the wider circulation of politicizing discourses and how citizens at large may engage politically (Carvalho, van Wessel, & Maeseele, 2017). Ideology, which binds and justifies social groups' ideas (Hall, 1995), is important to how we perceive and value nature and the natural environment around us and is important in the study of climate change communication because of how it naturalizes a particular historical cultural articulation of nature -"fixing" it, so to speak.…”

Discourse Network Analysis

“…Discourse network analysis has been applied to several policy sectors like pension politics (Leifeld, 2013;, climate politics (Fisher, Leifeld and Iwaki, 2013;Fisher, Waggle and Leifeld, 2013;Broadbent andVaughter, 2014, Gkiouzepas andBotetzagias, 2015;Schneider and Ollmann, 2013;Wagner and Payne 2015;Yun et al, 2014), software patents and property rights (Leifeld and Haunss, 2012;Herweg, 2013), internet policy (Breindl 2013), infrastructure projects (Nagel, 2015), energy policy (Brutschin, 2013;Haunss, Dietz, and Nullmeier, 2013;Mayer, 2015;Rinscheid, 2015;Rinscheid et al, 2015), shooting rampages (Hurka and Nebel, 2013), abortion (Muller, 2014a(Muller, , 2014b(Muller, , 2015, outdoor sports (Stoddart, Ramos and Tindall 2015), water politics (Brandenberger et al, 2015;Cisneros 2015), deforestation (Rantala and Di Gregorio, 2014), genetically modified organisms (Tosun and Schaub 2015), higher education (Nägler 2015), and online deception (Wu and Zhou, 2015), among others.…”
