About this session:
There is no facet of our lives that doesn’t overlap with climate change. People worry about AI run amok; it’s also a major energy hog. The value of your home could take a hit due to updated flooding maps. The fashion industry is responsible for 8-10% of global emissions. General assignment and beat reporters alike: There’s a climate change story waiting for you.In partnership with the Society of Environmental Journalists, we will:
- Connect you with reporters and editors who will share the habits and practices that generate leads.
- Talk about keeping our eyes open and the reporting methods that turn nascent ideas into coverage that makes climate change real and relevant.
