Abstract:
This research project aims to explore the role of mass media in shaping public opinion on climate change. Climate change is a pressing global issue that requires widespread public awareness and action. Mass media, including television, newspapers, and online platforms, play a crucial role in disseminating information and influencing public opinion on this topic. This study will examine the strategies employed by mass media in framing climate change narratives, the impact of media coverage on public perception, and the potential for media to drive positive behavioral change. By analyzing existing literature and conducting surveys, this research will provide valuable insights into the role of mass media in shaping public opinion on climate change and its implications for environmental advocacy.
