How people get their news about climate change

The role of the news media is critical in influencing levels of public concern, but even though extreme weather events such as hurricanes, floods, and fires seem to be happening more regularly, many people still do not always feel personally or directly affected. Simge Andı explores in detail the different sources people use to learn more about climate change and how this is affected by age, education, and political affiliation.

Simge Andı is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism.
