5 September 2023. Does journalism need to change in the face of climate change – or not? This is one of the questions we asked the applicants for this year’s M100 Young European Journalism Workshop (M100YEJ), which starts next Sunday, 10 September, at the Friedrich Naumann Foundation in Potsdam. The answers were very diverse and are sure to spark heated discussions at the workshop.
For example, participant Rina Zhubi believes: “While the principles of objectivity and balance have long been considered the holy grail of truth-telling in journalism, the approach inadvertently creates a false balance in climate reporting, preventing the public from seeing the clear scientific picture of climate change. Climate change shouldn’t be considered a political story but a science story.”
