To kick off The 89 Percent Project’s second phase, Covering Climate Now hosted 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 dug into how leading newsrooms are using community engagement and video journalism to collect stories, and brainstormed other ideas to put faces to the 89% number. Attendees shared ideas for projects that help shed light on who comprises the 89%, asked for advice on how to strengthen those ideas, and learned how colleagues are working to bring voice to the silent majority.
