Join us for SEJ's 34th annual conference, hosted at Arizona State University! The 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 are filling quickly.
With many states dominated by a few powerful industries — whether oil, mining or agriculture — the influence of campaign dollars can have an outsize effect on legislation, even to the point of corruption, notes the latest Reporter’s Toolbox. So while the U.S. Congress may be languishing, environmental journalists can dig up stories on lobbying at the state level using a powerful data source.
Meet SEJ member Lindsey Botts! Lindsey plays a central role in curating Sierra magazine's mix of news articles, opinion pieces, service journalism and current-events explainers. He's always looking to commission stories about the environment, wildlife, public lands and conservation. He loves working with new writers and helping journalists find that special angle that turns topics into stories. Want SEJ to promote your work to our social media followers? Here's how.
Our Calendar lists professional meetings, webinars, press conferences, awards/fellowships/workshops deadlines and more.
