Only 8 percent of journalists report that they cover climate issues like energy and the environment, compared to 28 percent for political coverage. The new Climate News Task Force made up of 11 climate newsrooms is working to increase the quantity, quality, and reach of that coverage, with MacArthur support. The Task Force represents a range of nonprofit news nonprofit news outlets and regional collaborations with experience covering climate change: Its aim is to foster collaboration between newsrooms, develop relationships, tools, and platforms, and create a funding roadmap for donors to better support climate news.
