In this week's episode, we dove deep into the barriers to environmental journalism. With our guest from the GlobalYaadie Podcast, Dainalyn Swaby, we explored obstacles to covering climate change and environmental issues in mainstream media, dissecting the industry that we rely on for our news and information, in the hopes of holding them to a higher standard of accountability.
This is particularly critical within the context of Deep Sea Mining- an issue that many, still, are unaware of. One that has come into the spotlight after what feels like a long period of operation in the shadows. What is the media's role in these conversations? Is there a duty to inform or a commitment to the bottom line? How far does environmental journalism go?
