Workshop: How to Humanize the 89 Percent Story
To kick off The 89 Percent Project’s second phase, Covering Climate Now is hosting a one-hour editorial meeting for journalists to brainstorm ways to put a face to the silent global climate majority, the 80 to 89% of the world’s population that wants their governments to do more on climate change.
We’ll dig into how leading newsrooms like The Guardian and France Televisions are using community engagement and video journalism to collect stories, and brainstorm other ideas to put faces to the 89% number. Attendees will get the chance to share ideas for projects that help shed light on who comprises the 89%, ask for advice on how to strengthen those ideas, and learn how colleagues are working to bring voice to the silent majority.
Join us for this hands-on session, as we approach the next joint week of 89 Percent coverage, October 26 to November 1. RSVP here.
