29 pages., Online via ResearchgGate., This study linked an analysis of media content in five countries to a survey of the authors of articles reported in those countries. "It finds that climate journalism has moved beyond the norm of balance towards a more interpretive pattern of journalism. Quoting contrarian voices still is part of transnational climate coverage, but these quotes are contextualized with a dismissal of climate change denial." Researchers concluded that coverage is overlooking "the more relevant debates about climate change."

Findings based on a representative international survey of more than 10,700 consumers in 10 countries.
11 pages., via online journal., This paper is concerned with how urban food activists related to the media during 2015, when Bristol was the European
Green Capital (EGC), how they represented themselves and how others represented their agenda. Our intention is to
inform the debates on urban agriculture (UA) and, more specifically, to contribute to discussions about ‘scaling up’
UA. To achieve this, we adopt a form of analysis that rests on Castells’ insights about contemporary protest movements,
the media and the role of communication technologies in constituting social power. By using Bristol, a city with a welldeveloped and studied urban agriculture movement, we suggest new areas for consideration that focus on the importance
of communication in the development of the movement. Our study relied only on publicly available data; newspaper
reports about the EGC and a sample of the social media used by the urban food networks in the city. We found that
the mass media was mainly concerned with reporting topics other than food and that urban food was not a salient
issue in their coverage. The Twitter network we analyzed was a loose constellation of different communities, which
shared materials that were mostly concerned with creating a shared, normative picture of urban food. By considering
the structure of these forms of media, we can observe the assembly of the forms of communication and their content.
The paper concludes that the self-representation of urban food networks at that time reveals a narrow focus of interest.
This emphasis may have contributed to the lack of connection within the city between potential allies. Our conclusion
supports similar research findings in neighboring communities, which have observed the limited connections of urban
food networks to the circuits of power and influence.
