#SEJ2024 Annual Conference, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania [33]

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.

Free Press Nearly Impossible With Corporate Business Model [50]

It may seem like fast-moving technology that’s undermining traditional news outlets. But for WatchDog Opinion, it may be more about the notion of news as property, rather than a public good.
