On Problems and Prospects

We live in a world of deepening and mutually exacerbating global crises. From climate change and ecological degradation to pandemics, food, water, and energy insecurity, and from world inequality and population movements to rising political instability, conflicts and wars. Based on his latest book Communicating a World-In-Crisis (2025), Simon Cottle explores some of the problematic as well as potentially productive ways in which news media today report on our world-in-crisis and with what consequences.
