SEJ Guide to Diversity in Environmental Reporting
The Society of Environmental Journalists has published a new resource for journalists who want to address diversity concerns and practice more inclusive journalism. Authors Jennifer Oladipo and Talli Nauman created the guide, inspired by discussions by members of SEJ’s Diversity Task Force. Their focus is mainly journalistic practice in North America. Journalists who have not consciously addressed diversity in their work should find multiple entry points here. Download the SEJ Guide to Diversity in Environmental Reporting as a PDF (3.69 MB) or view, share and download here. A "print on demand" option is available at cost from MagCloud. Funds for this project were provided by a grant from the Gannett Foundation.
