Description

This book introduces a new methodology to assess the way in which journalists today operate within a new sphere of communicative �public� interdependence across global digital communities by focusing on climate change debates. The authors propose a framework of �cosmopolitan loops,� which addresses three major transformations in journalistic practice: the availability of �fluid� webs of data which situate journalistic practice in a transnational arena; the increased involvement of journalists from developing countries in a transnationally interdependent sphere; and the increased awareness of a larger interconnected globalized �risk� dimension of even local issues which shapes a new sphere of news �horizons.� The authors draw on interviews with journalists to demonstrate that the construction of climate change �issues� is increasingly situated in an emerging dimension of journalistic interconnectivity with climate actors across local, global and digital arenas and through physicaland digital spaces of flows.�Typham this is the title: Risk Journalism between Transnational Politics and Climate Change
