Earth Journalism Awards to honor best in climate change reporting
Hi folks,
Some of you may have already gotten the news, but I wanted to make
sure you're all aware: Internews has announced the creation of the
Earth Journalism Awards, which will recognize the best climate change
stories from around the world this year at a ceremony during the
Copenhagen Summit.
The website platform is now up and running at
http://awards.earthjournalism.org/ and I'd urge any of you who are
interested in applying for the awards to register straight away, which
will enable you to receive e-mail updates. About 100 journalists from
around the world have already registered. Actual submission of stories
will begin on June 5th, World Environment Day. Details are in the
newsletter below.
Please do forward to anyone you think might be interested.
Cheers,
James
Q & A with Gustavo Faleiros:
On Geojournalism and Why Environmental Reporting Excites Him
Gustavo Faleiros is an environmental journalist at O Eco Online in
Brazil and a Fellow in the Climate Change Media Partnership
co-sponsored by Internews' Earth Journalism Network. He has a special
interest in "geojournalism," the new practice of combining online
mapping and satellite imagery with reporting to tell richer stories.
(Full Interview)
Climate change: How to report the story of the century
"All journalists should understand the science of climate change —
its causes, its controversies and its current and projected impacts .
. . This is particularly true for journalists in the developing world,
where the issue generally goes underreported despite the fact that the
poorest countries are most vulnerable to climate change."
- James Fahn, Director of Internews' Earth Journalism Network, in an
article in SciDev.net
