Listen "Reimagining journalism fit for a climate crisis - Dr Tara Ross"

Episode Synopsis

Dr. Tara Ross, Senior Lecturer in Journalism, Media, and Communication at the University of Canterbury and an award-winning former journalist of Pākehā and Tuvaluan descent, explores how traditional Western journalism often falls short in addressing the climate crisis. With its focus on short-term events and problems over solutions, it lacks the tools to address the global challenge effectively.
Drawing on Pacific practices like interconnected time, space, and talanoa (collaborative dialogue), Dr. Ross offers insights into creating a more responsive and solutions-focused approach to climate journalism.
