Journalism in the Anthropocene cover

What role does journalism play in shaping how we understand climate change and the planet we live on?

This thought-provoking book explores how media systems have helped construct our idea of the “human” Earth, from early nature reporting to today’s digital climate dashboards. Drawing on insights from the humanities and social sciences, it offers a fresh look at how news, data and storytelling influence public thinking in the age of the Anthropocene.

Building on the work of influential thinkers, the book asks how journalism can evolve to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world.

‘Blending sociology, urbanism and visual culture, Dominic Hinde deals with two interrelated crises: the future of journalism, and the future of the Anthropocene. He adroitly sets the scene, explores the necessary history and theory, and takes the reader through a series of rich case studies. Lucid, lively and highly original, it’s essential reading for anyone concerned with our collective future, and how we want it represented.’ Richard Williams, University of Edinburgh
