On Monday 7 October, the News Impact Summit will arrive in Birmingham to discuss how technological and journalistic innovation is enabling new forms of reporting on the climate and its impact on our lives.
In this summit, we will showcase innovative ways of changing the way we tell stories about climate change. Among other things, we will look at journalistic projects that use mapping and open source intelligence to link climate and data analysis, we will discuss how climate change stories are tackled in the newsroom and how news organisations can produce immersive storytelling that helps the audience understand and appreciate the urgency and complexity of climate change.
The summit will host speakers from the BBC, The Guardian, Climate Home, Carbon Brief, El Surtidor, Al-Jazeera, Quartz, the Lookout Station and Extinction Rebellion.
