Webinar spotlights food, waste and climate reporting [Worldwide]

Journalists around the world can register to attend a free webinar.

The Climate Project at MIT is hosting the webinar ‘Reporting on food, waste and climate in America.’ The webinar features five MIT fellows who will discuss their work reporting on the under-covered climate challenges of the food, agriculture and waste sector in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Texas, Maryland and Illinois.

Special guest moderator Jenny Splitter, editor-in-chief of Sentient Media, will lead a conversation with fellows on the diverse audiences they engaged, the challenges and opportunities of climate reporting in local outlets, and how they connected their stories to local values and priorities—for their readers, and for the farmers, waste managers and city and state officials with the greatest capacity to effect change.

The webinar will take place on May 30.

Register now.
