Sažetak
The aim of this article is to provide a current insight into how selected media outlets shape news on climate change, using the example of the 2023 COP28 conference and applying the method of content analysis across various media publications. The study analyses media coverage from eight global online news portals (BBC News, BBC News UK, The Washington Post, Al Jazeera, Deutsche Welle, France 24, South China Morning Post, and The Japan Times) and one Croatian portal – Večernji list. The monitoring period spanned from 20 November to 20 December 2023. The findings indicate the presence of all major media formats within the selected outlets. This research extends previous findings on climate change reporting, highlighting a lack of local stories, examples of good practice, and cause-effect contextualisation. It concludes that the topic of climate change should be localised in order to resonate more strongly with the public, evoking emotional engagement that could ultimately encourage more active civic involvement.
