Explosion of AP climate change stories following $8M enviro grant

Yo, I came across this dope article called “Explosion of AP climate change stories following $8M enviro grant” and it’s wild how one grant could make such a big impact. Basically, the Associated Press (AP) got an $8 million grant from the MacArthur Foundation to cover climate change news from all across the country. And let me tell ya, they ran with it. In just one year, they produced over 600 pieces focusing on climate change.

I think it’s crazy how one grant can motivate such a big media outlet to create so much news on one topic. This article opened my eyes to how much more attention climate change is receiving by the media and how it relates to the younger generation’s awareness and initiative on topics like protecting our planet.

This is important because climate change affects everyone. It’s not just animals or plants – it’s our home, our safety, our air and our water. It’s refreshing to see the power of the media positively impact a nation that has notoriously been the opposite. Overall, it’s awesome to see the positive change that the AP is making and I hope that other media outlets will follow their footsteps.
