"The mass media and its mechanisms of production and selection play a crucial rule in the definition of the risks of climate change. Different codings and logics in the political and the scientific system as well as in media are vital aspects in the misunderstandings of climate change and its public debate. Based on various empirical studies, the aim of this paper is to theoretically work out ... why some climate issues get a good deal of news coverage while other issues linger in the back."
