Abstract

ABSTRACT The lack of research on climate communication in the countries of the Global South is a frequently criticized research gap. This study addresses this problem by investigating the framing of climate change in eight print and online media outlets in Indonesia, the biggest emerging country in Southeast Asia. It identified three frames using cluster analysis: the “climate impact and science” frame, the “climate politics” frame, and the “climate action” frame. Further analyses revealed that print and online media used these frames selectively, as they relied on different news sources (national and international) and gave voice to various actors. These findings demonstrate the organizational influence on climate reporting. Furthermore, the study discovered that climate adaptation strategies were almost absent in the media coverage despite the urgency of this topic for the Indonesian public. Why the media ignore this important aspect needs to be investigated in future research focused on frame-building processes.

在影响、政治与行动之间:印尼纸媒与网路媒体的气候变迁框架

全球南方国家缺乏气候传播研究是一个经常被批评的研究缺口。本研究通过调查东南亚最大的新兴国家印度尼西亚的八家印刷和在线媒体对气候变化的框架来解决这一问题。它通过聚类分析确定了三个框架:“气候影响与科学”框架、“气候政治”框架和“气候行动”框架。进一步的分析表明，印刷媒体和网络媒体选择性地使用这些框架，因为它们依赖不同的新闻来源(国内和国际)，并向不同的参与者发出声音。这些发现证明了组织对气候报告的影响。此外，该研究发现，尽管气候适应战略对印尼公众来说是一个紧迫的话题，但在媒体报道中几乎没有。为什么媒体忽视了这一重要方面需要在未来的研究框架建设过程中进行调查。

期刊介绍： Environmental Communication is an international, peer-reviewed forum for multidisciplinary research and analysis assessing the many intersections among communication, media, society, and environmental issues. These include but are not limited to debates over climate change, natural resources, sustainability, conservation, wildlife, ecosystems, water, environmental health, food and agriculture, energy, and emerging technologies. Submissions should contribute to our understanding of scientific controversies, political developments, policy solutions, institutional change, cultural trends, media portrayals, public opinion and participation, and/or professional decisions. Articles often seek to bridge gaps between theory and practice, and are written in a style that is broadly accessible and engaging.
