Climate change is a critical discussion in this day and age, and communicating its intricacies can be a challenge. At the Mashable Media Summit we've added a session on telling the stories of climate change in the digital age.
The session, titled "Talking About the Weather: Telling Extreme Weather and Climate Change Stories in the Digital Age," will be led by Mashable's Senior Climate Reporter Andrew Freedman and will analyze the most effective ways to communicate climate change given the multitude of perspectives on the climate change issue.
Speakers joining this session include:
Neil Katz, Editor in Chief/ V.P. of Digital Content, The Weather Channel
Bernadette Woods Placky, Meteorologist and Climate Matters Program Director, Climate Central
Other previously announced sessions at Media Summit will include media experts like Pete Cashmore, Mashable's founder and CEO; Jill Abramson, Harvard University lecturer; Joanna Coles, editor in chief of Cosmopolitan magazine; and Piper Kerman, author of Orange Is the New Black in conversation with Larry Smith, founder of Smith Magazine.
The Media Summit is a one-day conference analyzing the impact of technology on the media industry, with an emphasis on the evolution of storytelling. Speakers will discuss media trends like the rise of big data and mobile, the impact of global social media campaigns, how to use visual platforms to enhance your story and much more.
