MIT Climate Project Webinar: Reporting on Food, Waste and Climate in America

Event Date: 
May 30, 2025

Each year, MIT supports five journalists around the country in developing deeply-reported stories about climate change and its solutions, for the news outlets Americans trust the most: the local and regional newsrooms where reporters write about their own communities.

Join MIT's newest class of journalism fellows in a webinar to discuss their work reporting on the under-covered climate challenges of the food, agriculture and waste sector. Special guest moderator Jenny Splitter, editor-in-chief of Sentient Media and an SEJ member, will lead a conversation with our fellows on the diverse audiences they engaged, the challenges and opportunities of climate reporting in local outlets, and how they connected their stories to local values and priorities—for their readers, and for the farmers, waste managers and city and state officials with the greatest capacity to effect change.

When: Friday, May 30, 12 pm to 1:30 pm ET online.

Register now.
