⚫️ On internet blackouts

"It was blocked in the night of 5 January. It was a total blackout because the state of emergency declared in the country. Then there were partial blackouts and it was impossible to know when the net would work," says @Darhaneo

📱On how they adapted

"The Internet blackouts made it very difficult to work and to process very heavy video materials. So we switch to cell phone cameras. We would shoot and send it right away to our colleagues in Prague," says @Darhaneo

📰 On journalism

"There’s a tendency in journalists to think that a solution to every problem that has ever existed is more journalism. But news organisations have created climate desks and then realised they haven’t had the intended impact," says @wblau
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
📚 On wording

"Should we call it climate change or climate crisis? This problem is so vast and unprecedented in scope that we struggle even with what to call it," says @wblau
