Social Media Policy

For the Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ), social media is an effective and important channel to communicate with members and others interested in our mission. It allows us to disseminate environmental news, share our members’ work, track the impact and popularity of stories and topics, discuss pressing issues in journalism, and converse with people from all over the world.

This policy applies to official SEJ social media accounts in order to ensure we are upholding journalistic ethics and standards while communicating with our members and the public.
