📸 Climate journalism isn’t just about words - my new paper with Saffron O'Neill shows how images can balance objectivity with powerful storytelling. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Friends at #ICA25! Looking forward to my presentation later today at 3pm on my paper "Transformative Journalism, Quiet Advocacy, and the Seductive Power of Imagery in Digital Climate Niche Journalism" from my PhD research! Hope to see you there, but if not, reach out for a coffee! #ICA

🎉 New paper! This work has lived as a cool interactive @carbonbrief.org piece here: interactive.carbonbrief.org/how-uk-newsp... since 2021, but is now *finally* also a published academic journal article in Public Understanding of Science: doi.org/10.1177/0963...

Check out @jonathan-growcott.bsky.social's new paper! It's always exciting to see what others in my PhD cohort are up to - ours is an interdisciplinary program so there's such a range of research going on. I'm no expert on ecology, but these Loud Leopards seem pretty cool🐆📢

This is absolutely fascinating from the brilliant @profgillian.bsky.social and couldn't come at a better time as myself and @veronicaawhite.bsky.social are having many conversations with AI experts on Gen-AI imagery in a climate/journalism context visualmethodculture.wordpress.com/2024/12/16/o...
