OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

The major challenges facing climate journalism
Most audiences in most countries still get their information about climate change from mainstream media, including tv news, online news sites and documentaries. In this seminar, based on discussion, we look at six of the complex challenges facing journalists: Should they be advocates? What language should they use? How are climate misinformation and disinformation changing? How to report extreme weather events? How to balance fear versus hope? How to move climate change ‘out of the ghetto’.
