NOW OPEN! SEJ's Awards for Reporting on the Environment honor the best environmental journalism in 10 categories, bringing recognition to the stories that are among the most important on the planet. $500 for first-place winners; $250 for second-place winners in all categories.

On May 2, join Freedom of the Press Foundation and SEJ for "The Intersections of Press Freedom and the Environment," a virtual discussion on obstacles U.S. journalists face when reporting urgent climate change and environmental issues for their communities — whether violence or arrest when covering environmental protests or denials of access and legal obstructions when investigating centers of political and corporate power. Q&A to follow. 12pm ET/9am PT. Webinar details and registration.

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time, when the United States is a service and information economy ... when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority..." — Carl Sagan, “The Demon-Haunted World,” Random House, 1995
