In the Feb. 26 #SEJWebinar, "Wildfire and the New Extremes: A Journalist Convening," we heard from subject matter experts on recurring and emerging concerns, from physical access and safety concerns, to environmental health and exposures, to trauma-informed reporting, and the ways coverage is changing. Webinar details, video recording and chat log (plus discussion notes and resources).
Meet SEJ member Elfredah Kevin-Alerechi! Elfredah is an investigative journalist from Nigeria. She is the founder of JournoTECH, The Colonist Report UK and The Colonist Report Africa. Elfredah has spearheaded and led several investigations on environmental and climate issues in West Africa. Want SEJ to promote your work to our social media followers? Here's how.
Join us for SEJ's 34th annual conference, hosted at Arizona State University! The ongoing devastation of wildfires in Los Angeles is a stark reminder of the urgency of this moment for environmental journalism. As extreme weather and natural disasters grow in frequency and magnitude, a shift in the political climate adds another layer of complexity to covering these issues. Now more than ever, our collective mission to uncover and share critical and empirical truths about science, energy, policy, health impacts and equity is vital. Register now to secure your preferred tour and/or workshop as both fill quickly. Travel stipends available (Mar 14 deadline).
Wanted: Mentors! Member-to-member help is an important part of SEJ's mission to improve environmental journalism, and that's what our mentoring program is all about. We pair veteran environmental reporters with newcomers to the beat, university students, or with less experienced reporters who want to improve their skills. Apply to be a mentor or mentee. You must be an SEJ member. Not a member? Join us.
