1st Place Winners: SEJ 17th Annual Awards for Reporting on the Environment

The Society of Environmental Journalists each year honors journalists for the best articles, radio broadcasts and videos in seven categories, this time naming winners for work released during the year beginning March 1, 2017, and February 28, 2018. SEJ also names winners of the best books on environmental topics published in 2017.

There were more than 400 entries for this year’s awards, which were judged by panels of working journalists. The SEJ contest is the world’s largest and most comprehensive, handing out coveted prizes each autumn.

SEJ will honor the winners on Oct. 6, 2018 at a celebratory luncheon during the society’s 28th annual conference in Flint, Mich.
