Attention, Sources, and Frames: How Journalism in 20 Countries Mediated IPCC AR5

• In Event: Journalism and IPCC AR5: A Global Perspective

Abstract

This presentation offers an overview based on a content analysis of all four IPCC AR5 -report publication periods (2013-2014) in 20 countries. The paper looks at differences and similarities in the amount of mainstream media attention, the sourcing patterns of journalism and the mobilized interpretation frames. These results are analyzed against the differences in media systems and climate policy contexts around the world, thus providing an overview of how strongly IPCC results became domesticated in different national and local public spheres.
