This paper adopts a longitudinal perspective to examine how the climate crisis is represented in major Italian television newscasts and daily newspapers from 2022 to 2024, drawing on a secondary content analysis of data from a study by the Osservatorio di Pavia for Greenpeace Italy. It details the evolution and salience of coverage, dominant narrative frames, the configuration of cited actors, and the articulation of causes, consequences and responsibilities. The findings indicate a wave-like pattern of coverage, with peaks driven by contingent events, marked differences between print and television news, and limited explicit construction of causal chains and attribution of responsibility.

Parole chiave:climate crisis, newspapers, newscasts, framing, agenda-setting, content analysis.
