According to a just-released report from Media Matters for America, t global warming garnered a tiny sliver — well under 1 percent — of overall broadcast news coverage. The report also found that, while these news outlets did cover climate change more often in 2019 than in the year prior, the quality of coverage was “generally shallow.” For coverage of those hit first and worst by extreme weather and other climate-related disasters, the networks fell short: People of color were “massively underrepresented.”
