Spanish TV discourse on the climate crisis in 2021
Abstract
Analyzing television discourse during 2021 through a statistical sample of records extracted from TV networks, the configuration that, in the pandemic, adjusted the dialectical mediation between television communication and cognitive capital available for resilience to Climate Change is revealed. This study originates from reports that in collaboration with ECODES and funding from the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, carried out by the Media Communication Observatory on Climate Change at its headquarters of the MDCS Research Group of the UCM. The analysis revealed how the causes, impacts, mitigation, and adaptation projects to the effects of climate change were communicated, and the identity of those who speak and/or are referred to. The discursive hegemony of mediators (journalists) and politicians is confirmed, to the detriment of scientists, and improved communication for resilience to climate change is promoted.
