Climate Arena 2024

How do you communicate big numbers, extreme events, and (bad) future prospects to your audience? How do you effectively deliver the news to communities that are most affected? Or to a younger generation? These are challenges that all journalists face but if your beat is climate and the environment, you might be feeling the pressure more.  

Come to this panel to hear from three journalists about their experiences, their methods, and their lessons learnt.

Iliana Papangeli will talk about how their recent popular story which involved an unconventional approach to writing about (and recording) bird hunting, Mauricio Ferro will talk about how they created Brazil’s first app-newsroom to deliver stories to news desserts, and Sophia Smith Galer will give you tips and tricks about how to make punchy and informative TikTok videos to capture the attention of hundreds of thousands of people (yes even with climate stories!).
