Description
What is the significance of the phenomenon of climate change from the perspective of the recipients, especially considering the complexity, abstractness and uncertainty of the knowledge conveyed in media communication? In recent years, media coverage of climate change has increased worldwide. In addition, a (partial) public debate on climate change is also taking place online, especially in social media. Using different theoretical approaches as well as different methodological approaches, this project explores how media reception, media appropriation and online use take place on the topic of climate change and in what consequences regarding their media effects this results.
