Hydrogen Rainbow May Dazzle, But Journalists Should Eye It Warily [14]

The hype on hydrogen — and it’s various “hues” or forms — suggests environmental reporters should clearly understand how this energy source is produced, as well as the politics and industry PR behind its claims to be clean and climate-friendly. Our latest Issue Backgrounder provides the basics of hydrogen science, while cautioning about the industry’s “color game.”

SEJ Objects to OSTP Backing of Reporting Restrictions [41]

SEJ joined with the Society of Professional Journalists Jan. 26, 2022, in sending a letter to the leaders of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy about a recently released report laying out the Biden administration's stance on ensuring scientific integrity in government. Much of the report still endorses existing widespread agency policies and practices that specify media access to government scientists should be "in coordination with supervisors and public affairs officials."
