The Society of Environmental Journalists is the only North-American membership association of professional journalists dedicated to more and better coverage of environment-related issues. The organization was founded in 1990 by award-winning print and broadcast journalists on staff with The Philadelphia Inquirer, USA Today, National Geographic, Turner Broadcasting/CNN, Scripps Howard News Service, Minnesota Public Radio and others.
SEJ members are a diverse group. Below are some of their affiliations. Note: This list is a work-in-progress and not yet comprehensive. If you're a member and would like your organization added, contact SEJ web content manager Cindy MacDonald. [6]
