Abstract

A steadily increasing body of scholarship on Australian media coverage of climate change in Pacific Island countries has emerged over the past two decades. Often critical of journalists and media organizations, this body of research still offers much to learn about Australian journalism and coverage of climate change and its impact on Pacific Island countries. Also significant, are lessons that can be learned about the state of research on this subject. The article draws out common themes in the discussion and raises questions about the ways in which journalists and media organizations are framed in scholarship relating to climate change. Through a review of published literature and media content analysis, lessons for journalists, media organizations and academics are outlined. The article contends that there is need for more research on Australian media reporting on climate change in Pacific Island countries. The authors note that there is room for positivity about the future of Australian reporting on climate change in the region.
