Abstract
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the relationship between news sources and climate change attitudes among students at Adeleke University and its implications on libraries. The study utilized a descriptive survey design with a questionnaire to collect data from 688 respondents. The majority of the participants showed an unconcerned attitude towards climate change. The sources from which students obtained climate change news were NTA, AIT, British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Cable News Network (CNN), TVC News, and Punch. It was found that sourcing climate change news from specific local and international news outlets such as Fox News, Al Jazeera, Euro News, Sky News, CNBC Africa, Channels, AIT, Vanguard, Nigeria Tribune, Guardian Nigeria, Silverbird Television, TVC News, Arise News, and NTA was strongly associated with an unconcerned attitude towards climate change. The study concludes that libraries should provide more news sources that can raise awareness about climate change in Nigeria to address the prevalent unconcerned attitude towards climate change.
