Abstract
This study examines the representation of climate change in print media through an analysis of news headlines and sub-headlines published on World Environment Day (June 5th) in two prominent Hindi newspapers. The research aims to assess how climate change is framed in regional print media by using content analysis to investigate the frequency, tone, and thematic focus of climate-related coverage.The findings reveal that climate change is predominantly framed in an alarmist tone, with headlines emphasizing crises such as extreme weather events and rising temperatures. Solution-oriented headlines were less frequent and primarily focused on government initiatives and local actions. A smaller portion of the coverage adopted a neutral tone, offering informational or factual reports. Also, the study highlights a strong emphasis on issues such as pollution and environmental degradation, while less attention was given to long-term environmental policies or scientific research. This indicates a gap in comprehensive environmental journalism in regional print media.
