Unfortunately, a similar analysis for major news broadcast networks in India is not presently available, but the unfavourably skewed airtime afforded to environment and climate is clearly evident to any regular consumer of news. “Broadly, there is very little coverage, and it is very difficult to find nuance. And when there is nuance, there is little attempt made to word it in simple terms to keep the reader interested, distancing the masses from what should be a very important discussion. To be fair to reporters, there is opacity, and sometimes even discrepancy in official data and that makes it very difficult to present informative reports/analysis,” says Sudarshan Varadhan who covers environment for the Reuters news agency.
