Climate change has become one of the most prominent topics in the media as a reflection of today’s political climate. But despite the multiple reports detailing consequences and causes, people still remain split on whether or not human beings contribute to climate change. The United States has some of the most notable media platforms and public perception relies heavily on how these news outlets choose to frame climate change. Therefore, this essay will investigate the extent to which The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Nation acknowledge the extent to which human beings contribute to climate change. The investigation will be conducted through the theory of the propaganda model which will be linked to two key approaches: newspaper ideology and critiques of capitalism. Based on these aspects, the research essay shows how newspaper ideology influences the way newspapers acknowledge or disregard climate change as a human contribution. |
