paragraph_text: Fossil fuel advertising
  
  An investigation by The Intercept, The Nation, and DeSmog found that Reuters is one of the leading media outlets that publishes advertising for the fossil fuel industry. Journalists who cover climate change for Reuters are concerned that conflicts of interest with the companies and industries that caused climate change and obstructed action will reduce the credibility of their reporting on climate change and cause readers to downplay the climate crisis.
