The inaugural Media Innovation & Social Impact Summit brings together leading voices from government, academia, journalism, and activism for a timely conversation on the theme “Communicating Climate.” As the climate crisis intensifies, so too does the urgency to understand how media messages about climate are constructed, circulated, and trusted—or not. This day-long event will explore the dynamics of climate communication across platforms and sectors, examining the role of misinformation and disinformation, the challenges and opportunities of emerging business models, and the power of narrative strategies to shape public perception and policy. The summit also marks the official launch of Boston University’s Center for Media Innovation & Social Impact, a new hub dedicated to applied research at the intersection of media, democracy, and civic trust.
