Additionally, and for the first time ever, Media Matters also analyzed coverage on the morning news programs on ABC, CBS, and NBC, which nearly mirrored their nightly counterparts: Solutions to climate change represented 28% of overall morning news programs’ climate coverage.
Climate coverage on corporate broadcast news shows made up just 0.4% of overall news coverage, with 221 climate segments across morning, nightly, and Sunday political shows on corporate broadcast TV networks in 2020. Sixty-three of these segments mentioned climate solutions just 29% a tiny fraction of the already minuscule amount of coverage on the climate crisis.
