Abstract

Climate Change (CC) official news releases implicitly educate readers. Qualitative content analysis reconstructed educational frames in news' texts (14) and images (35) in previous research. The present study expands its analysis through the application of quantitative content analysis to them. Prominent finding shows texts include mainly factual data, objectives and causes and consequences of climate change limited to knowledge and comprehension. Production of CC news remains low and politically oriented. Further research is suggested with other producers of CC news.
