Food + Agriculture Media Project (F+AMP) Explores Issues of Food Writing and Sustainability
April 12, 2013
Food issues with broader social implications—environment, equity, economics—will be the focus of a one-day writers workshop held at Ecotrust in Portland, Oregon, on April 12, 2013. The Food + Agricultural Media Project (F+AMP) aims to provide food and agriculture reporters, bloggers and writers with new ways to craft stories that engage audiences through food coverage.
F+AMP, in partnership with the Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ) and Ecotrust, features keynote speaker Adriene Hill, reporter for American Public Media’s Marketplace. Hill will kick off the day with a discussion of how she integrates food and sustainability into her reporting for public radio. Throughout the day, breakout sessions will include using food as a framework to report on national and local stories, reporting and writing opportunities in a shifting media landscape, and a case study exploring the complexity, controversy and economics of meat—from production and processing to sales.
SEJ NYC
Next date TBA
This unofficial SEJ New York City group seeks to build and sustain the professional ties between environmental journalists and editors in all media, who live and/or work in the New York City metro area.
The group first met the evening of November 28, 2012.
To be notified of future gatherings, join the group or contact the organizers to learn more.
SEJ Toronto Pub Night Series
TBD
SEJ Pub Nights take place as members are moved to get together, usually in the upstairs bar at Harbord House in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Sometimes we invite a guest speaker for a brief, informal conversation about an area of interest. We welcome journalists who cover environmental issues, or who wish to, as well as journalism students, academics, and other interested parties. The goal is to get some useful information and have ample opportunity to chat about environmental journalism amongst ourselves. See past get-togethers: 2012 | 2011 | 2010 | 2009.
Want to get involved in the Toronto pub nights, either organizing, attending, lining up speakers or being a speaker? Contact SEJ member and freelance writer/editor Sharon Oosthoek.
