‘Like the Oceans We Rise’: News Frames on Youth for Climate

“…For protest coverage in particular, mainstream media show a tendency to not take young protesters seriously. For example, research on youth protests that are distinctly concerned with issues of power, dominance and inequality points in the direction of frames and media images that do not endorse public support and sympathy (Cammaerts, 2013; Cushion, 2007; Mampaey et al, 2019; Turcotte-Summers, 2016).…”
