Problem Statement: There is limited research in context of coverage of climate change in the vernacular press like Urdu journalism and the study fills the gap. The studies which are conducted in context of Pakistan have focused on limited variables for analysis. Aims and Objectives: The objectives of the study are to research the effects and efficacy coverage of climate change in the editorials of leading Urdu language newspapers of Pakistan. Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework comprises of triangulation for the Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM) and framing theory. Methodology: The method which is used for analyzing the contents of newspapers in quantitative content analysis. The universe for the study is 3 years of editorial coverage of climate change in the Roznama Jang and the Roznama Express from September 2018 to August 2021.The units of analysis are lead editorials and the sub-editorials. Results/Findings: The study finds that there was limited editorial coverage of climate change in the Urdu language newspapers of the Roznama Jang and the Roznama Express (n = 88). The Roznama Express covered more editorials than the Roznama Jang but both the newspapers had editorial coverage in the sub-editorial section. However, the Chi-square test of independence by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25, did not inform any significant difference in the Roznama Jang and the Roznama Express for the editorial coverage of the effects and the efficacy towards climate change. The Roznama Express seemed to provide balance by covering both the effects and the efficacy levels towards climate change which means that the newspaper had effectively communicated the risk of climate change. Conclusion: The study concludes that the newspaper editorials did not focus on the effects of climate change on public health and self-efficacy towards climate change and here is scarce coverage related to coverage of climate change in the editorial section of newspaper which needs attention of editorial board or vernacular press Recommendations: The editors of the newspapers will have to make news stories by keeping into consideration the agendas of the effects of climate change on public health and the self-efficacy towards climate change.

<p>Youth is not a homogeneous group. With this motto in mind, the project ANONYMIZED aims to study youth, their engagement with news and digital citizenship dynamics. The team set out to develop a digital newsroom, a space for meeting and exploring digital citizenship and news, considering the significant disparities that characterise individuals in this group. This article explores the outcomes of mapping literature regarding youth, news, diversity, and different methodological approaches, and the contributions to the Design Thinking (DT) process that preceded the digital newsroom development. Furthermore, we discuss the potential of engaging young people in self-discovery and transformative learning processes through media creation and the challenges of considering youth from various backgrounds through pillars such as co-creation or inclusive design. Findings underscore the challenges of inclusivity and diversity and the need for tailored interventions that consider cultural differences, socio-economic factors and evolving technological landscapes. They also highlight the difficulties, as well as the positive results of using digital tools and strategies to trigger learning and motivational processes for diverse audiences – digital tools that rely on media creation, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration can promote the empowerment and inclusion of youth from distinct backgrounds, bridging the gap between their realities and citizenship experiences. For research teams, involvement in collaborative, immersive and participatory processes encourages them to distance themselves from preconceptions while bringing them closer to research participants.</p>

The rise of online open electives has transformed education, shifting from traditional classrooms to virtual platforms due to technological advancements and improved accessibility. This shift fosters a culture of continuous learning globally, accommodating diverse schedules and overcoming geographical barriers. Demographic trends, such as the globalization of education and the growing emphasis on lifelong learning, highlight the inclusive nature of online open electives. This study utilizes the Measure of Online Communication Attitude (MOCA) to explore online communication attitudes across different demographic groups, focusing on gender, age, and locality. Conducted from January to April 2023, Bayesian statistical analyses were employed to assess psychological dimensions. Results reveal nuanced gender differences in self-disclosure, apprehension, miscommunication, social connection, and ease. Psychological similarities were found among different age groups, with slight variations observed in apprehension and miscommunication across rural, semi-urban, and urban localities.
