Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

The Role of the Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion

Ms Celene Craig:

The focused round of sound and vision funding was about trying to find creative ways to raise awareness but also to engage audiences in a way that ensures they do not switch off, which can happen at times with news and current affairs content. That is where reaching out and having the independent producers or broadcasters really thinking about creative ways of trying to get these messages across are very important aspects of our multi-pronged approach to addressing this.
