A regional publisher has launched a group-wide campaign to tackle disinformation on the climate crisis.

Newsquest has announced the launch of the Climate Crisis – Time For Change campaign across its portfolio.

As part of the campaign, Newsquest titles will share updates on how local and national businesses across the UK are responding to the challenge.

They will also feature news from all corners of the globe that tells the real stories of the impact that climate change is having on people and places, as well the latest science around the issue.

Emma Stowell-Corten, magazines manager at Newsquest, came up with the idea for the campaign.

Emma, pictured, said: “I feel it is important that we use our privileged position as a trusted local news source to ensure that accurate news and information about the climate crisis is freely available.

“With so much disinformation around, it’s important that we use our platforms to make sure our readers are as informed as possible. This is a crisis that requires all of our attention.”

She added: “Our titles are uniquely placed to share news from across the world, along with local issues and stories that impact on the challenge ahead, and as local trusted newspapers we know it’s our societal and moral duty to give readers the facts.”
