Journalism in the Anthropocene: Media, Modernity and the World to Come

What role does journalism play in shaping how we understand climate change and the planet we live on?

This thought-provoking book explores how media systems have helped construct our idea of the ‘human' Earth, from early nature reporting to today’s digital climate dashboards.

Drawing on insights from the humanities and social sciences, it offers a fresh look at how news, data and storytelling influence public thinking in the age of the Anthropocene. Building on the work of influential thinkers, the book asks how journalism can evolve to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world.
