The study maps the minds of climate journalists from five different countries (Germany, India, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and different types of leading media outlets. It identifies five cognitive frames that vary between attributing the responsibility for climate change to lobbying and national interests, blaming consumerist culture and the capitalist system, and expressing technological optimism. The study provides evidence for the emergence of a sustainability frame, indicates a \u201cblame game\u201d between industrialized countries and emerging economies, and shows the demand for a global ecological discourse. Finally, it explores how individual factors such as specialization, professional aims, and political alignment correlate with the cognitive frames of journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/bruegge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/public-understanding.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bruegge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/public-understanding.png 225w, https:\/\/bruegge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/public-understanding-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/bruegge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/public-understanding-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Engesser, Sven; Br\u00fcggemann, Michael (2015): Mapping the minds of the mediators.
