Climate Reporting in America Webinar 2024

Americans' most trusted news sources are those closest to home: the local and regional outlets where reporters write about their own communities. As the urgency of climate change intensifies, can these newsrooms help build support and understanding of ambitious climate solutions around the country?
Join MIT's newest class of Environmental Solutions Journalism Fellows as they discuss their work on major reporting projects for news outlets across the United States, covering local implications of the transition to a clean energy economy in Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah and Oregon. Special guest moderator Lagipoiva Cherelle Jackson, Director of Climate Journalism at the Solutions Journalism Network, will lead a conversation with our fellows on the diverse audiences they engaged, how they connected climate solutions to local values and priorities, and the challenges and opportunities of climate reporting for local and regional outlets.
