We are delighted to announce that the article titled “Reporting on Young Climate Activism: How Journalistic Multimodal Choices on Television Can Delegitimise Disruptive Dissent” was published in Journalism Practice on November 27, 2024. This article builds on previous work analysing Portuguese television news and the representation of young climate activists. It focuses on an in-depth report broadcasted following the school occupations demanding an end to fossil fuels in November 2022. The analysis highlights how media coverage frames youth-led disruptive actions and contributes to the ongoing discussion around such movements. The article critically examines the editorial decisions made by media professionals and their implications for journalism practices in addressing pressing social debates.
