Climate change is one subject, given its impact on every corner of the world and on generations to come. The Times's newsroom is committed to providing the best reporting on how our climate is changing. Fact-based, global and told through multimedia, our coverage is compelling and memorable. In this month's Off the Press, we take a look at The Times's expanding climate change coverage. Climate Coverage in The New York Times EFTA00681503 Climate Coverage The Times continues to lead the way in covering climate issues. We're exploring threats to the earth from a wide range of perspectives and in an array of formats, from in-depth articles to compelling graphics, photographs, video and more. We look at the data, industries, politics, the lives already affected. And our climate reporting spans the globe, from "Rising Waters Threaten China's Rising Cities" to "As the Maldives Gains Tourists, It's Losing Its Beaches." Below are some other stories you might want to read. "How Americans Think About Climate Change in Six Maps" "Large Sections of Australia's Great Barrier Reef Are Now Dead Scientists Find" "We Have Some Good News on the California Drought. Take a Look." A SELECTION OF RECENT ARTICLES EFTA00681504 CATCH UP WITH CLIMATE EDITOR. THE NEW YORK TIMES Hannah Fairfield Hannah Fairfield In the January 2017 press release introducing Hannah Fairfield as our climate editor, The Times wrote: "No topic is more vital than climate change and covering it requires drive, creativity and more than a little bit of specialized knowledge. We are thrilled to announce that we found an editor with all those qualities — and more — to lead our climate coverage: Hannah Fairfield." She has been with The Times for nearly 15 years, and holds two master's degrees from Columbia University, in journalism and environmental science. Just saying. But we'll let her speak for herself. WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR MAIN GOALS IN LEADING THE TIMES'S CLIMATE COVERAGE? We are working to grow our coverage on several fronts: to make it more explanatory and more visual so that readers can see the direct results of changes in our climate and understand how it is affecting their lives and communities. We are also expanding our international and investigative coverage because climate change is reaching all areas of the globe, so our stories need to as well. EFTA00681505 AS A LONG-TIME GRAPHICS EDITOR AT THE TIMES, AND AS VISUAL EDITOR FOR TWO OF OUR BIG CLIMATE STORIES LAST YEAR ("GREENLAND IS MELTING AWAY" AND "LIVING IN CHINA'S EXPANDING DESERTS"), DO YOU SEE VISUAL PRESENTATION AS A KEY PART OF OUR CLIMATE COVERAGE? IN WHAT WAYS? I think visuals are an incredible tool for telling stories about climate change. Josh Haner, the photographer for those two stories you cited, has done amazing work to bring these stories to readers. In the Greenland piece, he captured the urgency of the story by flying a drone down a meltwater river that was rapidly cutting through the ice. In the China desert piece, his pictures of a small girl running through the sand dunes humanized the story of communities in rural China being erased by the sands. In both pieces, Times cartographers Derek Watkins and Jeremy White used data mapping to show the scale of the melting glaciers and growing deserts. The stories reached a wide audience, and the response from readers was tremendous. Our hope is to do more of them. ARE THERE SPECIFIC CHALLENGES IN COVERING CLIMATE ISSUES? One of the biggest challenges is the timescale. The climate change that scientists have documented and that is affecting people around the globe is happening rapidly on a geologic timescale, but many of us are more used to defining immediate change through a much shorter timescale, like months rather than decades. EFTA00681506 HOW DID YOU GET YOUR START AT THE TIMES? DID GROWING UP IN ALASKA CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR INTEREST IN CLIMATE? I started working in The Times's graphics department in woo, and gravitated toward science, environmental and climate coverage because I had majored in geoscience in college, and later gotten a master's degree in the same field. I liked the intersection of science, storytelling, data and visuals — a combination that I am still exploring in wonderful ways. One of the first big graphics I worked on was for a cover of Science Times, to pair with a story that Andy Revkin wrote on how melting permafrost in Alaska was limiting the ability to explore for oil. I used data to show that even in the 199os, spring was coming much earlier to the Arctic. EFTA00681507 Did you know? The NewYork Times Newspaper Environmental concerns, and battles over them, have been around for a long time. Today it's global warming. Some 3o years ago in the U.S., it was acid rain, urban smog and toxic chemicals in the air. Even then, science, industry and politics were among the stakeholders — and combatants. The Times article below captures an early chapter in the ongoing story: the Senate's approval of a Clean Air Act measure, from April 4,199o.
