With the mainstream media filtering, misinterpreting, downplaying or even ignoring news about the environment, how much can we trust what we read in the papers?
Honest and full coverage of issues like climate change is never going to sit well with the interests of corporate media owners. Much reporting is not grounded in research or informed by facts; crucial evidence is largely ignored; and environmental activists and climate scientists are undermined or even pilloried.
Our next Cloud Café online discussion, on February 14 from 7.30 to 9pm, will explore the messages we receive though the mainstream outlets.
Our guest speaker, veteran environmental campaigner Dr Jonathan Fuller, founder of Climate Genocide Act Now, will discuss why the media takes the approach it does, and will talk about his ongoing Tell The Truth campaign to call the media out on their dishonesty.
His presentation will be followed by discussion, comment and debate from the online audience.
