Climate journalism gathers, evaluates, selects, and presents information about climate change, its characteristics, causes, and impacts, as well as ways to mitigate it, and distributes them via technical media to general and specialist audiences. It is an important source of information about climate change for many people. Currently, however, the media ecosystem surrounding climate journalism is changing, with economic conditions becoming more strenuous, more communicators joining the debate, and social media changing the affordances of communication. This advanced review synthesizes scholarship on both the status quo and the changes taking place in climate journalism in the Global North and the Global South. While it demonstrates that the scholarship has distinct gaps and biases, it does distill several robust findings. First, it shows that the organizational embedding of climate journalism is changing, with specialist reporters becoming scarce and working under more strenuous conditions and with the emergence of online‐born news media and niche sites specializing in climate journalism. It also suggests that few specialist climate journalists exist in the Global South. Second, it demonstrates that the range of roles available to climate journalists has diversified, with a shift from “gatekeeping” to “curating” roles. Third, it indicates that climate journalists’ relationships with their sources have changed. Elite sources have been, and still are, important, but their composition has shifted from scientists to a broader range of stakeholders. Correspondingly, there seems to be a strong and rising influence of stakeholder PR on climate journalism.

不断变化的媒体生态系统中的气候新闻：评估全球与气候变化相关的新闻的产生

气候新闻收集，评估，选择和呈现有关气候变化，其特征，成因和影响以及减轻气候变化的方法的信息，并通过技术媒体将其分发给一般和专业受众。对于许多人来说，它是有关气候变化的重要信息来源。但是，当前，围绕气候新闻的媒体生态系统正在发生变化，经济状况变得更加严峻，更多的传播者加入了辩论，社交媒体改变了传播的承受能力。这份高级综述综合了有关全球北部和全球南部气候新闻的现状和变化的学术研究。尽管它表明该奖学金有明显的差距和偏见，但确实提炼了一些可靠的发现。第一，它表明，气候新闻的组织嵌入正在发生变化，专业记者越来越稀缺，并且在更加艰苦的条件下工作，并且出现了专门针对气候新闻的在线新闻媒体和利基网站。这也表明全球南方几乎没有专业的气候记者。其次，它表明，气候新闻工作者可利用的角色范围已经多样化，从“看门人”角色转变为“策展”角色。第三，它表明气候新闻记者与他们的消息来源的关系已经改变。精英来源一直而且仍然很重要，但是其构成已经从科学家转移到了更广泛的利益相关者。相应地，利益相关者公关对气候新闻的影响似乎越来越大。
