From Newsworthiness to News Usefulness in Climate Change Research

by Marie-Elodie Perga, Laure-Anne Pessina, Stuart Lane and Fabrizio Butera 7 February 20247 February 2024

Current approaches for deciding what science is covered in the media portray only a narrow slice of climate change research and aren’t well suited for stoking climate action.
