Cool thing alert - We're going to be talking about a huge piece of important research on climate change journalism in South Africa.
Things are much better than a decade ago. But (almost all) media are still hopelessly under-reporting the climate crisis.

Barry was a pioneer in his field. A gentleman who was incredibly generous with his time and expertise. A one of a kind. A huge loss for his Tshimologong colleagues and loved ones 💔💔💔
I am truly saddened by the passing of Prof #BarryDwolatzky a remarkable innovator, thinker and mentor. He formed part of the selection panel when I was first hired at Wits two decades ago. What a loss to @WitsUniversity and South Africa. See you in the stars, Prof!
To everyone who is working today, medical, security and emergency services, retail, our awesome petrol attendants, etc. Thank you for your efforts so that we can have a wonderful day.
As South Africa declares an end to the National State of Disaster, I wish to take this momentous occasion to celebrate every single person who contributed to the fight against Covid-19 in the past two years, and to pay my deep respects to all those we lost during the pandemic. 🙏🏿
