Does the Media Report Climate Protests Responsibly?
How should journalists cover climate protests? The climate conference Cop27 ends this week. But you might have seen more about the activists who threw oil on a Gustav Klimt painting in Vienna. Or the protesters who brought the M25 to a standstill. In an era of apparently increasing direct action, what’s the media’s role? And by giving the latest stunt publicity, is it fanning the flames?
The guests are: Fiona Harvey, environment correspondent, The Guardian; Cameron Ford, spokesperson, Insulate Britain; Rich Felgate, documentary-maker; Wolfgang Blau, managing partner, the Climate Hub at the Brunswick Group, and Danny Shaw, former BBC home affairs correspondent.
