“…This is a plausible explanation for the finding, given that the first IPCC Assessment Report appeared approximately 33 years ago [109]. In addition, these generations have been exposed to increasing media coverage of climate change and its impacts, which could affect their psychological distance from climate change [16][17][18][19]. Similarly, it is possible that finishing university studies and securing employment were experienced as greater and more immediate challenges for the participants than the contributions of climate change to their livelihoods [110].…”

“…Because extreme weather events, disasters, and the releases of important documents such as the most recent IPCC report tend to be focusing events, it is not surprising to see corresponding fluctuations and increases in the media's coverage of climate change [15][16][17]. Such coverage is significant because it raises awareness about climate change and promotes discourse about the issue [18,19]. Societal dimensions of climate change tend to receive the most coverage, especially in the global South, with correspondingly less coverage on climate science, ecological or environmental aspects, or effects on future generations [16,20].…”

The occurrence of severe and extreme weather events that have been attributed to a changed climate system and the widespread dissemination of the impacts of these events in the media can lead people to experience concern, worry, and anxiety, which we examined in two studies. In Study 1, we observed that people more frequently expressed worry than anxiety about the impacts of climate change in six areas. People were more frequently worried and anxious about the effects of climate change on future generations and about societal responses (or lack of a response) to climate change. The levels of anxiety that people expressed were significantly higher than the worry people reported when anxiety was their modal response. In Study 2, we observed that both climate change worry and anxiety were negatively correlated with psychological distance from climate change. Overall, climate change worry and psychological distance significantly predicted climate-sustainable behaviors. Our study was among the first to use developed measures of climate change worry, anxiety, and psychological distance to examine peoples’ responses across some of the possible impact and consequence areas of climate change.

“…Apart from using online media to post the updates, citizen opinions also get affected by the news published in newspapers. The rise of media is India is obsessed by swift revolution of muddling new technologies with media, and this combination has created an empowered and aggressive media (Antilla, 2014). Both news channels and newspapers in India started to use online mediums as a superfluous source to publish news and reach broader spectators.…”

Data is an important asset for the government and enormous data are collected every day. Assortment of data is one trait, deriving meaningful insights from these data is important too. Emergence of 'data analytics' creates link between effective governance and improved service delivery. Two types of data collected by the government are structured and unstructured. Structured data are collected through operational work and are used for decision making since long. Unstructured data now forms an integral form of decision making, are the ones collected from social media, websites and other online media. Government of India (GOI) identified the need of integrating unstructured data (especially social media). The study collects opinions concerning three historic moves-digital India, demonetisation, and GST, through eight online media including six Hindi news channels and news two English newspapers. The texts are evaluated based on 'profile of mood states' (POMS) tagging and identifies opinions.
