In this episode we gain insight into the role journalism can play in tackling climate change with the brilliant Anna Turns, journalist and broadcaster, Senior Environmental Editor for The Conversation and author of Go Toxic Free.
We discuss the importance of solutions journalism, how to combat RFK jr.-style misinformation, advice for more effective climate storytelling, Anna's experience campaigning to reduce plastic pollution with her daughter and why she wrote Go Toxic Free: Easy and Sustainable Ways to Reduce Your Chemical Pollution.
We also cover Anna's important work as Senior Environmental Editor for The Conversation, where journalists collaborate with academics to bring their research to the wider public.
She shares how her Guardian article on an avian flu outbreak in Gambia, which posed a serious risk to UK poultry farmers, led to a change in UK government policy.
You can listen to her recent BBC radio series Secrets of The Sea here.
And Anna recommends checking out the Solutions Journalism Network for anyone interested in further exploring how journalism can tackle social problems.
