Journalists are heroes of democracy. This Giving Tuesday, we're asking you to honor your journalism heroes by supporting SEJ's work to increase and improve environmental journalism. If you have a journalism hero, tell us using #HonoringTheHeroes. Make a contribution to SEJ in their name and we'll add them to our Wall of Heroes. And you'll both know that you're helping the reporters who tell the world's greatest stories.
The toxic compounds known as PFAS are causing a crisis in the waste and recycling industry, which faces mounting regulation and litigation over handling its presence in the waste stream. One reporter on the PFAS front lines explains the industry’s dilemma, as well as the challenges of covering the story and how a financial prism led to important insights into industry’s response.
With the 2020 election results in, environmental journalists want to know what’s on the agenda for the next four years. An #SEJ2020 webinar on Nov 24, Post-Election Reality Check — A Green Recovery for All? was for journalists seeking to report on the connections between climate, COVID-19 and the economy. Webinar details, video recording and chat log.
Registered attendees can watch recordings of #SEJ2020 in the Whova app. Part two of SEJ's 30th anniversary conference, in-person in Boise, Idaho takes place June 2-6 (#SEJ2021), hosted by Boise State University.
It's critically important to SEJ to gather evidence on the impact of our work. So we're tracking stories inspired by or informed by our virtual conference in September 2020. The stories don’t have to be about a particular virtual session; they can be based on sources or ideas you got from being at the conference, meet-ups, networking, etc. Please help us to keep SEJ strong and share links, photos, copies of reporting generated or informed by this conference. It's never too late! Send your story links to Cindy MacDonald, SEJ's Web content manager.

"Information is data arranged in an intelligible order. Journalism is information collected and analyzed in ways people actually can use... ‘Content’ is what journalism becomes when it’s adulterated into a mere commodity. " — Tim Rutten
