Reuters joins climate coverage coalition

In an effort to push its climate change coverage, Reuters has joined the ‘Covering Climate Now,’ a project co-founded by Columbia Journalism Review and the Nation.

The initiative sets out to strengthen the media’s focus on climate change.

The coalition spans 350 organizations and its sole purpose is to advocate for fair coverage and more stories about the climate crisis. The topic impacts coverage on markets, business, politics, society and nature.

“Reuters is committed to providing the most accurate and insightful coverage of the climate crisis, as it threatens the health, safety and economic well-being of people world-wide,” said Reuters editor-in-chief Stephen J. Adler. “Our hope is that our careful, factual reporting will help nations, businesses and individuals respond to the challenge rapidly and intelligently.”
