"In Apocalyptic Authoritarianism: Climate Crisis, Media, and Power, climate media and journalism scholar Dr. Hanna E. Morris critically reveals how national anxieties following the 2016 presidential election of Donald Trump have shaped and continue to shape American journalistic and political interpretations of climate change in ways that severely limit how it has come to be known, imagined, and contended with. Through the identification of a new, antidemocratic regime of reactionary politics called "apocalyptic authoritarianism," Dr. Morris ultimately reveals how nostalgic memories of America's past are brought forward in news stories on climate change in ways that impede comprehensive engagements with more robustly democratic visions and identities. Climate journalism does not need to be like this. In addition to grappling with the implications of apocalyptic authoritarianism, this insightful and engaging book points towards alternative pathways forward for climate journalism today"-- Provided by publisher.
