To assess how climate was covered, we recruited 31 volunteers to monitor prominent radio and television news programs across British Columbia from October 7 to November 1, 2024. The findings from this study not only reveal patterns in election reporting but also provide key takeaways for improving climate journalism in future elections—most urgently, the 2025 Canadian federal election. Our report outlines 10 actionable recommendations for strengthening climate coverage during elections and includes practical tools and resources for journalists looking to improve climate reporting year-round.

The research report, Community Voices: A Public Primer on News Reporting on Police Violence offers a practical review of the community impacts of, helpful and harmful narrative patterns in, and recommended standards for reporting on police violence. Through participatory analysis conducted in partnership with the Unlocking the Gates Services Society, these findings have been developed by community members who have experienced police violence to offer guidance to journalists, editors, and others who are interested in critical heart-based storytelling. The Student Co-Lead on this project, Emily R. Blyth, developed the research behind this publication through her time with the 2023-2024 CERi Graduate Fellowship program as a part her doctoral research which examines policing practices in Canada as a source of health inequity. This action-driven and accessibly written publication centers the voices of impacted community members to support the difficult work of reporting on police violence in ways that can expose the harms that police cause and that refuse to perpetuate those harms though uncritical narratives.
