Green Journalism in Focus: Investigating Challenges and Perspectives in Climate Change Reporting within Pakistani Media
This comprehensive study explores the landscape of green journalism and climate change reporting among Pakistani journalists, employing a mixed-methods approach of 20 qualitative interviews and a survey involving 110 journalists. Anchored in Agenda-Setting Theory and Environmental Communication Theory, the research seeks to validate hypotheses concerning the impact of journalists' training on their perspectives, reporting quality, and the broader media agenda regarding climate change. By integrating insights from qualitative interviews with quantitative data from the survey, the research provides a holistic understanding of the intricate dynamics shaping green journalism and climate change reporting in Pakistan. The findings underscore the importance of structured training initiatives, increased awareness, and improved technological capacity to enhance journalists' effectiveness in addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by climate change. The study contributes valuable insights for media organizations, policymakers, and stakeholders aiming to improve environmental reporting and awareness in Pakistan.
