"Uncovering the Untold: The Overlooked Aspect of the Maui Fire Coverage"

Climate experts criticize major media institutions for not giving the accelerating climate crisis the amount and urgency of coverage it deserves. While climate change coverage has improved, news organizations still struggle to connect extreme weather events to the larger trend. Only 4% of television news segments about the recent Maui wildfire tied the catastrophe to climate change, with CNN and MSNBC being the only outlets to mention it. Experts argue that news organizations should cover climate change as a far more grave threat and launch shows devoted to the topic. By reporting on the extreme effects of climate change unfolding in the present, media can inform audiences and emphasize the urgent need for action.
