Future of Journalism - Ep 25 - John Cook Future of Journalism – a series by the Alliance for Journalists' Freedom

    • Non-Profit

John Cook created Cranky Uncle to fight misinformation. He’s a scientist and reporting those complexities is not easy. Take climate change. How might journalists have covered climate change in a more nuanced way – without giving so much weight to a tiny contrarian minority? What lessons can be learned from the way media covered Covid-19 vaccines? 

For our #FutureOfJournalism series, the AJF's Chair Peter Wilkinson talked to Cook, a research fellow with the Monash Climate Change Communication Research Hub.
