"LOS ANGELES -- Two U.S. senators angered by the firing of whistle-blower Walter Tamosaitis from the contaminated Hanford, Wash., nuclear site sharply criticized the U.S. secretary of Energy on Wednesday."

"A laurel to Environmental Health News for taking a hard look at the politics behind a controversial editorial "
By EDITORS OF THE SEJOURNAL
When SEJ decided last year to survey members about which SEJ programs they value most, a funny thing happened – we discovered that many of the programs most popular among some members aren’t even on the radar screen for others. In fact, in com- ments at the end of the survey, some members expressed a desire for programs ... that SEJ already offers.
We also heard from many members who seemed in responding to the survey to express doubt about how much SEJ can help them. For example:
An environmental video journalist was among those charged by Russia for piracy after a protest of Arctic drilling.
"Al Gore ripped U.S. television coverage of climate change Friday, alleging the media is cowering before industry-funded global warming 'deniers.'"
