Russia and Climate Change: A Comparative Analysis of Climate Change Framing in Russian News Media
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study conducted a comparative analysis of how climate change is framed in state owned versus independent news media in Russia, focusing on the state source RT International and the independent news source The Moscow Times. The findings revealed that RT International portrays climate change as primarily non-local, emphasizing temperature increases and vague natural disasters, while the Moscow Times presents it as a global issue with statistically significant consequences. Both sources employ framing techniques to either support or criticize varying governments.
