Posted on May 6, 2014 by prometheus

Media Monitoring of Climate Change or Global Warming

We monitor fifty sources across twenty-five countries in seven different regions around the world. We assemble the data by accessing archives through the Lexis Nexis, Proquest and Factiva databases via the University of Colorado libraries. These fifty sources are selected through a decision processes involving weighting of three main factors:

  • geographical diversity (favoring a greater geographical range)
  • circulation (favoring higher circulating publications
  • reliable access to archives over time (favoring those accessible consistently for longer periods of time)

World, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, United Kingdom, & United States (Updated through April 2014)
Spain (Updated through March 2014)
Japan (Updated through January 2014)
