SEJ board president Sadie Babits has been thinking about you, SEJ’s members, who are at the core of this organization. It’s because of you that we are here, and it’s also why we are looking at our membership categories to make sure they best represent the work environmental journalists do today and the evolution of our industry. We’re eager to hear from SEJ members of all categories; here's how.
The Worldwide Teach-In invites climate-concerned faculty, staff and students to join the project, with monthly events preceding the Mar 30 event. Register to get involved. For journalists, there are local, national and international stories to pursue from now until March 30.
The Hudson River Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that supports scientific research, ecological enhancement, and educational programs for the Hudson River and its estuary, is seeking an experienced communications professional to assist us in building our outreach capacity. This is a part-time (20 hour/week) position. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience communicating science to non-expert audiences and the capacity to produce clear, concise, persuasive, and well-designed communications addressing complex issues and information.
