climate content for the 💻 age.

the doomer dispatch is for people like me: drowning in digital distractions and looking for a better way to keep up with climate issues.

The truth: Everyone knows we have shorter attention spans, but no one writes like we do.

• Most articles bury the one thing they need to convey in piles of adjectives and unnecessary detail. Add climate change to that mix, and no one reads past the headline.

That out-of-touch media shit helps no one, especially people who want to stay informed but aren’t avid readers.

In the age of distraction, we need climate content designed for distracted readers.

That’s the doomer dispatch:

🕒 curated news that respects your time

the doomer dispatch is built to keep your attention, and then let it go.

• Reading news roundups should be like a good trip to the grocery store: you get in, grab what you need, and get out.

Every Friday, you get the climate catch-up: the most important 5-10 stories of the week, their context, and why they matter. That’s it. Choose to either read the article or listen to the podcast, and get caught up in under five minutes.

🌀 creative content for deeper dives

When you’ve got the time, you can sink your teeth into monthly long-form posts.

• the doomer dispatch rides the new wave of climate creativity — defined by accessible writing, challenging analysis, and a resolute belief in humor and humanity in media.

Once a month, you’ll get a creative post that dives deeper into climate and culture from my perspective as a professional climate communicator. It could be a personal essay, original reporting, podcast, comic, video, or something else.

about me: who do I think I am?

an excellent question. to answer, I could say this: “My name is Joey Wolongevicz, I’m a climate communications specialist for a climate action consulting firm and an independent journalist and writer.”

how boring! here’s a fuller picture:

I consume a lot of climate content — news articles, TikToks, Instagram reels, podcasts, etc. I eat ‘em up like a six-foot Pac-Man with tattoos and weird shoulders. What I’ve noticed from my years of climate content dining is that much of it is dense, hard to read, and not made for a world that’s constantly trying to pull our attention away.

This is especially true for a younger, Gen-Z audience. I earned my degree in environmental sustainability with a host of other kids who all cared deeply about climate change. Ask them where they get their climate news today, though? Twitter. TikTok. Those weird Snapchat shows.

and I don’t blame them! the average NYT or WaPo climate article is looooong, dense, and full of industry jargon. and that’s coming from someone in the industry!

as the planet’s climate changes, so too should the media covering it.

unlike traditional media, the doomer dispatch aims to equip the average, distracted online reader with climate info they can actually absorb.

I want to give YOU the power to discuss climate topics at the dinner table. (or, more likely, dinner coffee table in front of the TV).

so join me! it’s my dream to connect people like me to the climate conversation.

I can promise you it won’t be boring 🚀
