Live from SEJ: The State of Climate Journalism
Apr 16 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Join Covering Climate Now for a frank conversation about the state of climate journalism, in a discussion from the Society of Environmental Journalists convention in Chicago. Amid concerns about a backsliding of climate coverage in the press, CCNow interviewed dozens of climate reporters from around the world to assess the challenges facing reporters on the climate beat. The result is ‘A Burning House, A Quiet Media, A Silenced Majority,’ a new white paper from CCNow that will be released at SEJ. In this webinar, CCNow co-founders Mark Hertsgaard and Kyle Pope will discuss the paper’s findings, the hurdles faced by climate reporters, and the significant opportunities for newsrooms to build a new audience interested in climate news.
