Kommentare/ Inhalte: - Current research in the field of climate communication - The climate debate in different countries - Traditional ways of climate reporting and new types of outlets - How to do qualitative (and quantitative) content analysis
Lernziel: Students will have learned about current patterns and dynamics in the global debate on climate change: How do scientists, journalists and political actors interact and produce public communication about climate change? Why is the climate debate different in different media contexts and in different countries? By exploring these questions in small projects, students get an enhanced understanding of climate communication, of how to conduct qualitative content analysis and how to collaborate with students across disciplines.
Vorgehen: Seminar (2 SWS): Groups of students from journalism studies and from ICSS will work together on small research projects on climate communication, doing a content analysis of climate coverage in different countries or different kinds of news outlets.
