Covering Climate Change on Broadcast Television
Elisa Raffa, Meteorologist and Climate Specialist at Queen City News/ FOX Charlotte, STEM Experience Specialist at Discovery Place Science
Elisa Raffa is a broadcast meteorologist and climate specialist at Queen City News/ FOX Charlotte. With a passion for communicating climate change, she’s earned national and international recognition for using everything from beer, chocolate, snow shovels and vultures to help viewers relate to the climate crisis. When she’s not on-air, you’ll find her at Discovery Place Science in Uptown Charlotte. As a STEM specialist on staff, she writes lessons and tests hands-on activities in weather and climate science for kids of all ages. While climate communication and education are her biggest passions and drivers in her career, they don’t come without challenges. Come chat about how gender and politics play into navigating misinformation on-air, and how a small role on museum staff can make the biggest difference in our future.
