Il clima mediato. Attori, arene e frame del racconto pubblico della crisi climatica

This article introduces a special issue on the framing of climate change across media, platforms and the arts. It examines the evolution of the actors, cultural forms, and media environments that have contributed to the emergence of climate change as a public issue and to its framing – or concealment – as a social problem. Starting by reconstructing the “social life” of climate change alongside its mediati-zation, the article then reviews framing theories and the most recent research on climate change coverage in news media, as well as the reframing processes enabled by social media and the arts. It concludes by presenting the seven contributions selected for the special issue.
