Exeter Observer has joined the global Covering Climate Now partnership, conferring publishing rights for stories shared by a large network of publishers including The Guardian, Reuters and Bloomberg.
Covering Climate Now was co-founded in April 2019 by Columbia Journalism Review and The Nation in association with The Guardian and US public radio station WNYC, and has since partnered with over 460 media organisations around the globe.
These encompass television, radio, podcast, online and print delivery, commercial and non-profit business models and range from educational institutions to research organisations and journalism collectives.
The initiative aims to increase circulation of climate coverage by uniting the global press around reporting the climate crisis and enabling the distribution of original reporting on the subject.
Exeter Observer’s first publication as part of the partnership was a leading climate scientist’s perspective on what the community has learned over the past year about the interactions between the pandemic and the current and future global climate that was originally published in The Conversation.
