Save the dates! SEJ announces our 2022 Annual Conference: Mar 30-Apr 3 in Houston, hosted by Rice University. The #SEJ2022 conference will focus on environmental health and justice, energy and climate change, and oceans and coasts. We'll announce details — including how you can contribute to the agenda — later this spring.
Government suppression of science harms not just journalists, but also the public in its ability to get crucial information and trust in science, not to mention government integrity. So now is the time, asserts the new WatchDog opinion column, for news media to engage intensely over government scientific integrity policies in the making, to be sure that agencies like the EPA get it right.
During Sunshine Week 2021, join us for a conversation with top officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on government transparency and media access. Following years of eroding media relations, the Biden Administration seems poised to make some changes. On Mar 18, 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET, bring your questions and personal anecdotes into the mix. After brief introductions, we’ll jump right into Q&A. SEJ members only. Not a member? Join us (eligibility requirements apply). Webinar details.
Late entry is allowed until Apr 1 (with extra fee) to enter SEJ's 20th annual Awards, which honor the best environmental journalism in 10 categories, bringing recognition to the stories that are among the most important on the planet.
