"Funded by GetUp members,
Lies, debates, and silences: How News Corp
produces climate scepticism in Australia proves not only that News Corp
is negative towards climate action, but they're actively creating debate
and confusion while they politicise the issue.
The exhaustive study analysed 8,612 pieces of news, opinion, editorials
and letters mentioning climate change across four News Corp publications
–
The Daily Telegraph,
Herald Sun,
Courier Mail, and
The
Australian – between April 2019 and March 2020, covering the worst
bushfire season on record and the massive School Strike 4 Climate protests.
It found that an astonishing 45% of all News Corp climate coverage
expressed climate scepticism. Of the 55% of stories that accepted
climate science, there was negligible reporting of climate change facts
and impacts."
