👉 Did it end with agency… not just apocalypse?
👉 Acknowledge complexity without collapsing into hopelessness?
👉 Show who’s already doing the work?
If not, add your voice. Round out the story. Make the signal louder than the doom.

Don’t sleep on our thread about breaking the doom spiral.
Because doom says “give up.”
But the full story says: there’s fight, there’s progress, and there’s still time.
Signal > noise.
Let’s share wisely. Let’s share hope. 🌊
#OceanHoptimism #HopeWithTeeth #NoDoomJustDo #OceanComms
📉 Just saw another “the ocean is dying” story going viral? Before you hit repost, pause. Doom gets clicks, but this sort of repetition drains hope. What if your audience doesn’t need more grief, but more clarity, agency, and direction?
Let’s try harder to break the spiral. 🧵

🦈 During #SharkWeek, we celebrated the communicators behind the lens using photography to help audiences see sharks, and the ocean, differently.

When we replace fear with beauty and facts, we create space for action.

Great analysis on communication narratives on the controversial topic of #deepseamining by @pulitzercenter.org.

#OceanComms
Good look at the nuts and bolts of how the Pulitzer Center team did their messaging analysis on The Metal's Company PR Pivot.

I did some of the background research for the Greenpeace report that came to the same conclusion.
How We Analyzed The Metals Company’s Public Messaging on Deep-Sea Mining
The Metals Company (TMC), headquartered in Canada, has been aggressively pushing to launch deep-sea mining in international waters despite the absence of regulations. Other companies and pro-mining...
