In this lesson, students explore best practices for climate change journalism, including best practices for reducing bias and promoting equity and fairness in reporting. Students analyze the role of interviews in feature articles, then plan and conduct interviews for their own climate change articles.

Inquire: Students describe an image, reflect on how bias can interfere with impartiality, and brainstorm the role of interviews in reporting climate change topics.

Investigate: Students review the equity checklist for journalists, explore the use of quotes in climate journalism, and refine their list of people to interview for their article.

Inspire: Students learn interview techniques, write interview questions, and conduct interviews for their article about the climate crisis.
