More than nothing
Fifteen lines about climate. That much media space
was given to the topic by Moskovsky Komsomolets, the most popular Russian daily,
on 12 Dec. following the end of COP17. And that was the only climate story in
the newspaper during the period of three weeks. It came as little surprise, as
the country’s news agenda has been flooded by coverage of parliamentary
elections and subsequent civil protests against numerous falsifications. It is
hard to believe, though, that at any other moment the climate-based mainstream coverage
could be more significant in contemporary Russia. It is still the world’s coldest country heavily dependent on gas-and-oil exports and socially passive to
environmental issues.

Wow! Guess you don't need to set aside too much time for coding.
ReplyDeleteWell, yeah. Although, there are three more stories in the elite Kommersant, one of which being about the summit.
