#SEJ2024 Annual Conference, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 3-7

Join us for SEJ's 33rd annual conference, hosted by the University of Pennsylvania! Mid-Atlantic journalists have much to share with you about their corner of the world: the huge national battle over fracking and LNG versus renewable energy, such as wind and solar; the paradox of a city that wants to be modern and future-facing but is held back by issues of poverty, environmental racism, infrastructure challenges and development problems; flooding and sea level rise; pollution and land management; and much more. Register now to get your choice of workshops and tours. Check out the draft agenda, sponsorship opportunities and snag a hotel room — last year we ran out, so don't wait! NEW! Airfare discounts for Delta, Southwest and United.

Spill-Tracking Data Sources Help Cover Hazmat Events

02/28/2024 – A new Spill Tracker website is a good source of information on chemical spills, albeit one with an agenda.
