  • Summary

  • Climate change is everywhere in our media today, from the twenty-four hour news cycle to TV and movies. Many have experienced it individually when the heat hits unexpectedly or the rains drench suddenly, when the flowers bloom early or the snow comes late. It seems it's all about climate change these days, but what's new and with all the bad news, how do we hang on to hope? Does most news media make us feel worse?

    Frank Sesno is joined by Sadie Babits, an environmental journalist and storyteller. As the Supervising Climate Editor at NPR and former President of the Society of Environmental Journalists, Babits knows first hand the challenges of telling the story of climate crisis. She shares her insight into how public media shapes their stories for consumers to actually use, shifts in public opinion regarding climate science, the book she is currently writing, and much more.

    Major funding for Peril and Promise is provided by Dr. P. Roy Vagelos and Diana T. Vagelos with additional funding from Sue and Edgar Wachenheim III, and the Estate of Worthington Mayo-Smith.
