Environmental journalism: The good, the bad, the future - and why you are essential

NCCEH Environmental Health Webinar
April 11, 2024
Presenter: Douglas Fischer
Progress is never a result of scientific advancement alone: It requires other forces - and one of the most essential is an informed public.
Journalism remains one of the best avenues for driving good science into public discussion, particularly on our health and environment.
For 22 years, Environmental Health Sciences has worked collaboratively with scientists, agencies and the general public to drive good science into public policy and public discussion around our environment and health.
In this webinar, top EHS staff will trace the arc of environmental journalism: Trends, coverage gaps, and the future.
We will look under the hood at social media approaches and how journalists are working to reach audiences that neither trust nor consume traditional media. We'll talk about how to pitch stories and make science approachable.
Come with questions - and be prepared for discussion on how journalists and scientists can more effectively deliver to a hungry public core issues of concern for the NCCEH.
