Yusri, an INSPIRASI 2022 alumnus, conducted a study on the language features used in reporting climate change issues in online media and their potential to trigger reader apathy. Using a mixed-method approach, combining discourse analysis and surveys, the research analyzed news articles from Indonesia's largest online platforms published between 2023 and 2024. The study found that many respondents exhibited moderate apathy toward climate change, with a correlation between frequent news consumption and apathetic attitudes.
