The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee is to hold another hearing about the public understanding of climate. There are one or two familiar names:
Wednesday 17 July 2013
Committee Room 15, Palace of Westminster
At 9.30 am
- David Jordan, Director of Editorial Policy and Standards, BBC
- Ralph Lee, Head of Factual, Channel 4
- Fiona Ball, Head of Environment and Engagement, BSkyB Limited
At 10.30 am
- Ros Donald, Carbon Brief
- Andrew Montford, Bishop Hill Blog
- James Painter, Head of the Journalism Fellowship Programme, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism
At this point it's hard to work out what the committee will be looking at. I get the impression that it's mainly going to be about media coverage rather than anything more substantial. I suppose that we can travel in hope that the BBC will be asked about 28Gate or that Climategate gets discussed. But not in expectation.
