Abstract

Climate Aotearoa: What’s happening and what we can do about it, edited by Helen Clark. Auckland: Allen & Unwin, 2021. 327 pages. ISBN 9781988547633 WHEN the publication of Climate Aotearoa was heralded by Radio New Zealand in April 2021 it was featured along with a striking image and a quote from the collection editor, former prime minister Helen Clark. The illustration by Vinay Ranchhod was a dazzling red lobster in a boiling pot. 'I would liken [the challenge of climate change] to being the lobster in the pot and the pot starts to heat, and by the time it’s realised it’s being cooked, it’s too late to change. Its fate is sealed. 'That’s in essence the message: you’ve got time to act, the window is closing. And if you don’t, you’re going to get over those tipping points from which there’s no return.' (‘Time for action’, 2021)

回顾:与大流行病一样，气候行动迫在眉睫

《气候在线:正在发生什么，我们能做些什么》，海伦·克拉克主编。奥克兰:Allen & Unwin, 2021。327页。Vinay Ranchhod的插图是一只耀眼的红色龙虾在沸腾的锅里。“我把(气候变化的挑战)比作锅里的龙虾，当锅开始加热时，当它意识到自己被煮熟了，改变已经太晚了。”它的命运已注定。从本质上讲，这传递的信息是:你有时间采取行动，时机正在关闭。如果你不这样做，你就会越过那些没有回头的临界点。(《行动的时刻》，2021年)

期刊介绍： While one objective of Pacific Journalism Review is research into Pacific journalism theory and practice, the journal has also expanding its interest into new areas of research and inquiry that reflect the broader impact of contemporary media practice and education. A particular focus is on the cultural politics of the media, including the following issues: new media and social movements, indigenous cultures in the age of globalisation, the politics of tourism and development, the role of the media and the formation of national identity and the cultural influence of New Zealand as a branch of the global economy within the Pacific region. It also has a special interest in climate change, environmental and development studies in the media and communication and vernacular media in the region.
