Now more than ever, climate journalists need to be aware of coordinated efforts to misinform the public on climate change. Not only is it journalists’ job to help the public sort fact from fiction but, also, no journalist wants to find themselves an unwitting accomplice to a disinformation campaign.

Covering Climate Now convened three panelists to discuss how to cover a disinformation campaign without amplifying it, dig into the nuances around free speech and disinformation, think through ways to inoculate their readers against misinformation, and explore the spectrum of trends we’re seeing today.

Melissa Aronczyk, professor of Media Studies at Rutgers University
Jennie King, head of Climate Research and Policy at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue and co-founder of Climate Action Against Disinformation
Marco Silva, senior journalist for BBC News, specializing in climate change disinformation

Amy Westervelt, award-winning investigative climate journalist and founder of the independent podcast network and production company Critical Frequency, moderated.
