Unpacking power: The role of investigative climate reporting and audience engagement

Every climate story is a story about power—who manages resources and who is affected– and how journalists examine these dynamics. This session explores the intersection of climate change, water, agriculture, and vulnerable communities, highlighting how investigative reporting and audience engagement can inspire actions and improve policies. Pulitzer Center-supported journalists will share their stories, investigating the impact of development projects on communities and ecosystems and how intentional audience engagement can address these power imbalances and spark change. Through partnerships among journalists, content creators, and local communities, the Pulitzer Center ensures that these stories not only reach key audiences but also translate into tangible impact.
