Well, hey, perhaps if they were doing the job of being a reporter rather than trotting out doomsday cult propaganda it wouldn’t be an issue. If they weren’t constantly writing uncritically about doom and gloom, it wouldn’t be a problem. If they weren’t blowing off actual science in favor of junk science it wouldn’t be a problem
Nearly half of journalists covering climate crisis globally received threats for their work
Almost four out of every 10 journalists covering the climate crisis and environment issues have been threatened as a result of their work, with 11% subjected to physical violence, according to groundbreaking new research.
A global survey of more than 740 reporters and editors from 102 countries found that 39% of those threatened “sometimes” or “frequently” were targeted by people engaged in illegal activities such as logging and mining. Some 30%, meanwhile, were threatened with legal action – reflecting a growing trend towards corporations and governments deploying the judicial system to muzzle free speech.
The global survey by Internews’ Earth Journalism Network (EJN) and Deakin University is the first-of-its-kind scrutiny of the challenges faced by journalists covering arguably the most pressing – if not existential – issues of our time.
The Covering the Planet report includes in-depth interviews with 74 journalists from 31 countries about what help they need to do a better job reporting extreme weather, plastics pollution, water scarcity, and mining as global heating and unchecked corporate greed pushes the planet to its limits.
In fairness, reporters who call out actual wrongdoing will get threats for legal action and such, and there are certainly companies and individuals who are bad for the environment and could be breaking law. Of course, that’s completely separate from ‘climate change’, and people do not take kindly to “reporters” pushing a cult that is attempting to get government to institute higher taxes/fees, control our lives, and reduce our freedom.
The survey also found an overwhelming need for more resources for newsrooms covering the environment and the climate crisis: 76% of those surveyed said insufficient resources limit their coverage, and identified more funding for in-depth journalism, in-person training and workshops, and more access to relevant data and subject experts as among their top priorities.
Well, then convince your companies to fund you. Obviously, this doesn’t generate revenue. I wonder how many of the 740 drive EVs themselves?
