УУР АМЬСГАЛЫН ӨӨРЧЛӨЛТИЙН ТАЛААРХ МЭДЭЭЛЭЛД ХИЙСЭН ШИНЖИЛГЭЭ (мэдээллийн сайтуудын жишээн дээр)

Abstract

The current study aimed to
examine the coverage of climate change by
Mongolian media, with a particular focus on
news websites, the most widely accessed
by the public form of media. The research
encompassed an analysis of five websites,
evaluating a total of 388 news articles
related to the topic of climate change. The
findings of the analysis indicate that while
climate change has been covered to some
degree across websites, there has been a
marked increase in coverage since 2021.
Notably, among the websites studied,
Gogo.mn, despite posting a smaller
volume of articles, has consistently
reported on climate change and like other
websites, has substantially expanded its
coverage on climate change in the past two
years. This heightened attention to climate
change can be attributed to the policies and
programs implemented by the Government
of Mongolia, as well as broader global
shifts in focus toward this critical issue. In
terms of types of content published,
approximately 70 percent were news
reports. The media plays a prominent role
in disseminating the necessary knowledge
and fostering the skills required for the
public to adapt to and mitigate the impacts
of climate change. Therefore, in addition to
regular news updates, it is essential to
have dedicated radio programs, TV shows,
and website sections that continuously
feature articles and columns on climate
change.
