Abstract

The current paper aims to examine how environmental and climate topics are addressed in television news reports through an analytical comparison between Al Jazeera and DW Arabic. The study relied on a comparative analytical approach to analyze the content of news reports related to environmental issues over a specific period of time, focusing on dimensions of media coverage, such as presentation style, approach, and the extent of emphasis on causes and solutions. The researcher adopted a content analysis approach for a purposive sample of (60) news reports, (30) for each channel, during the period 2021–2024. The research used a content analysis form designed according to systematic media indicators, which was presented to several referees to ensure validity and reliability.

The results revealed that Al Jazeera tends to highlight environmental issues within a broader political and social framework, with a marked interest in linking climate phenomena to current events and humanitarian crises. In contrast, DW Arabic demonstrated greater interest in the scientific and technical aspects of climate change, offering solutions and reviewing global environmental initiatives in greater detail. The study also revealed differences in the two channels' reliance on sources. Al Jazeera relied more heavily on sources from international organizations and press reports, while DW Arabic focused on the opinions of experts and scientists. The research confirmed that the difference in media discourse between the two channels reflects their editorial orientations and priorities in addressing environmental issues.

The study recommends strengthening television environmental coverage in Arab media by adhering to precise scientific standards and providing balanced coverage that highlights the seriousness of environmental issues and the importance of collective action to address them
