A Burning House, A Quiet Media, A Silenced Majority
"Climate coverage declined globally in 2025 by 14% compared to 2024. In the US, ABC News, CBS News, and NBC News reduced the airtime devoted to climate change by 35%. ... To understand this retreat from climate coverage and how it might be remedied, CCNow’s executive director Mark Hertsgaard held conversations in early 2026 with more than 30 climate journalists at leading TV, radio, newspaper, magazine, and digital news outlets in Asia, North and South America, Europe, and Africa. ... Those conversations, along with CCNow’s years of work with journalists and news outlets around the world, inform a white paper that CCNow is releasing today."
