This book examines how journalism functions among “synergistic effects” of climate change, such as compounded impact of severe weather, social and political responses to changing global warming, and the often-unfortunate results and impacts on our environments.The volume emerges as global communities attempt to address climate events already challenging for journalists to cover and the social and cultural outcomes associated with them. Chapters in this book bring together global scholars and media practitioners who highlight digital challenges in covering the complexities of environmental change, from climate deniers and facts to longstanding and new approaches to covering heat, disaster, safety, mis- and dis-information, and data. These chapters provide conceptual and practical solutions to issues journalists (and scholars) face amidst global contestation and global warming to better communicate in an increasingly digital age. Journalism and Reporting Synergistic Effects of Climate Change will be an invaluable resource for scholars, researchers and practitioners in journalism, mass communication, media studies, environmental communication, communication studies, and sociology. It was originally published as a special issue of Journalism Practice.

The acceleration of massive global climate change creates a nexus for the examination of power, political rhetoric, science communication, and sustainable development. This book provides an international view of twenty first century environmental communication, from journalism to artistic expression, to critically explore mediated expressions of climate change.  Seeking to understand how government policies, environmental news reports, corporate messages, and social influences communicate the complexities of climate change to the public, this book examines the roles that journalism, entertainment, and strategic messaging play in mediating meanings of science, health, economy, and sustainable solutions. It considers the critical importance of the study of climate change communication, which is inherently interdisciplinary, as well as globally and locally impactful.  With topics ranging from communicating resilience through environmental journalism and linguistics, the storytelling of climate change explanations in the news, the role of visual communication in capturing and addressing climate change, and the communication of the health impacts of climate change, this book will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students and scholars in environmental sciences, international relations and politics, media, journalism and mass communication.

Human and ecological systems face substantial risks, and the ways individuals and communities adapt, change or otherwise transform are being increasingly highlighted as routes to address long-standing system-level problems. Central to this are the ways in which mediated communication may foster and support community resilience and collective efficacy.Communicating Resiliency and Efficacy in a Digital Age: Mediated Communities takes an interdisciplinary look at the roles and processes associated with mediated communication in helping to foment community resiliency. The chapters describe the nexus of communication, media, health, and the environment and identifies leverage points to engage scholars across disciplines in the social sciences and humanities,Through a culture-centric lens, this edited collection looks at how the concepts of community resilience and collective efficacy have been applied to work across academic disciplines, and how new understandings and applications may result.

This edited collection provides a unique survey of the ways in which news media organizations across Latin America and the Caribbean cover global, regional and local environmental issues and challenges.
