De la cumbre de Nairobi (2006) a copenhague (2009): Cobertura del cambio climático en medios digitales en español

Abstract

Using framing approach, this paper analyses the coverage of Climate Change (CC) issues during the international Summits of Nairobi (COP12-2006), Bali (COP13-2007), Poznan (OP14-2008) and Copenhagen (COP15- 2009). We carried out a content analysis of 372 news items from 30 Spanish-speaking online media. The results indicate that the most quoted sources are politicians, and when they appear the news items tend to show a frame of conformity. The investigation concludes that more than half of the news comes from wire services and demonstrates the absence of topics related with CC in the local agenda.
