More about the book

Focusing on the global climate crisis, this research paper explores the link between political news consumption and individual responsibility in combating climate change. It posits that increased engagement with political news fosters a greater sense of personal accountability. Utilizing multivariate OLS-regressions on data from the European Social Survey, the study reveals a significant gap in the sense of responsibility between news consumers and non-consumers. The findings suggest actionable policy measures to enhance political news engagement among those less informed, addressing the collective action challenge.
