Heat of the Moment: The Faces of Climate Change is the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting's campaign of complementary, mutually reinforcing media products that will put a human face on global warming. This project will transport television viewers, radio listeners and web visitors to places facing the consequences of global warming.
The project will bring the human impacts of climate change to life through the stories of people suffering from them (or trying to counter them). In June, the Pulitzer Center team attended the BAVC Producer's Institute where they developed a prototype for an interactive web application. Watch the short video for a preview of the site.
As part of the outreach strategy, the Pulitzer Center will also host a "Global Warming Day" in Second Life. At BAVC they worked with Second Life journalist "Draxtor Depres" to create a newscast that demonstrated what Global Warming Day in SL would look like. Want to know more? Sign up for updates.
