Like a lighthouse on watch, we scan Canada's climate coverage. All of it, every day.
CCF is a research project and a public observatory: 287,227 articles from 22 outlets since 1978, read sentence by sentence and updated every day.
The observatory distills Canada's climate coverage into events, trends and a daily brief. Day after day, it measures how the media frame the crisis.
Inform, and measure
Pass the information on, reprocessed
Every day, we extract what matters from the coverage and publish it in a usable form: detected events, media cascades, framing trends and a bilingual daily brief. Fresh within hours, free for everyone.
Analyse the framing that carries it
Validated models read every sentence across 65 categories (F1 = 0.866) and measure how the press frames the climate crisis, from 1978 to today. One instrument, one continuous series.
