“…Similarly, media frames chart conflict and agreement in a marked period of international political summits from 2000s onward (Christensen & Wormbs, 2017; Lockwood, 2010). Religious leaders also have featured at this time to express moral commitments to tackle climate change (Nisbet, 2009) while other advocates have sought to outline the global health consequences of the issue (Maibach et al, 2010).…”

We know that journalists accommodate green interest groups’ voices in the reporting of climate change. Argument continues, nevertheless, over the extent of groups’ contributions to coverage. The study on which this is article is based traces groups’ presence during a rapid politicization of the issue (2000–2010). Its analysis of U.K. newspaper coverage shows that groups appear alongside a growing number of political messages “to tackle” climate change and act there as a critical foil to these performances and to explain climate consequences.

“…While the success of the Paris Agreement has created a scenario of hope (Christensen and Wormbs, 2017), our study indicates that effects on the general public were limited. With an increasing number and diversity of societal participants, climate change conferences have developed beyond a place for political negotiations.…”

“…Media coverage about climate change and, particularly, coverage of international climate change conferences has received plenty of scholarly attention (Christensen and Wormbs, 2017; Gurwitt et al, 2017). An underlying assumption of these studies is that higher levels of media attention during such events can influence public opinion concerning the perceived relevance and threat of climate change or the necessity to engage in mitigation or adaptation efforts.…”

Shifting public engagement: How media coverage of climate change conferences affects climate change audience segments

While it is often assumed that media attention for events, such as international climate change conferences, can influence public opinion, research studying changes in public opinion concerning climate change is scarce. Research on climate change audience segments and the theory of motivated reasoning suggest that media effects depend on the level of audience engagement with climate change. We analyze how exposure to media coverage of the COP21 affected public opinion in the Netherlands. Based on a two-wave online panel survey ( N = 876), we identified five audience segments that varied in their degree of climate change beliefs, involvement, policy preferences, and behavioral intentions. Different media effects across segments were found indicating (dis)confirmation bias, specifically, for medium levels of positive and negative engagement. The findings indicate that important events may cause limited changes in public opinion and emphasize the importance of studying segment-specific and content-specific media effects.

“…It has reacted to the reported thoughts of intergovernmental scientific panels (e.g., IPPC) and those of other leaders speaking at international conferences (McManus, 2000;Gunster, 2011). Industry has voiced concerns about the social and the economic consequences of adopting mandatory polices to reduce greenhouses gases (Schlichting, 2013) in addition to commenting on international meetings that are framed by the contest and conflict between countries (Lockwood, 2010;Christensen and Wormbs, 2017). At the same time, it has been observed to inhabit different "imaginaries" on climate change rather than constructing objections or uncertainty over the issue in the media (Levy and Spicer, 2013).…”

Placing Industry in the Frame: Exploring the Mediated Performance of Industry Voices in Climate Change Reporting

It is now recognized that industry representatives influence the news reporting of climate change. Still, debate continues over the form and the extent of their influence particularly in the absence of detailed analysis of their presence across time. This paper places industry in the frame by analyzing their perspectives within a period of rapid politicization of the issue in the UK (2000-2010). Mapped across elite reporting, industry presence appears to be fluid, not static, and to respond to the politicization of the issue and to the journalistic logic that shapes elite coverage. Perhaps as expected, industry is pro-active in providing a perspective on climate change as an economic problem and projecting its "green credentials" in prime positions across the reporting. Mostly, however, this reporting uses its reactions to comment on other industry or elite activities, practices and policy. The findings show that interactions between the media and the political context underpin the observed outcomes of the pro-active and the re-active public relations by industry, in addition to shaping the presence of other speakers that contribute to the complex issue of climate change.
