Join us for SEJ's 34th annual conference, hosted at Arizona State University! The devastation of wildfires in Los Angeles is a stark reminder of the urgency of this moment for environmental journalism. As extreme weather and natural disasters grow in frequency and magnitude, a shift in the political climate adds another layer of complexity to covering these issues. Now more than ever, our collective mission to uncover and share critical and empirical truths about science, energy, policy, health impacts and equity is vital. Register now to secure your preferred tour and/or workshop as both are filling quickly.
Industry experts and government regulators have long known that radionuclides reside in oil and natural gas.

Investigative journalist Justin Nobel on the opportunities and urgent need for reporters to drill into a story steeped in questions of accountability, health and justice.
Our Calendar lists professional meetings, webinars, press conferences, awards/fellowships/workshops deadlines and more.

"Reporting gets easier over time... The more you force yourself out into the world, taking chances, the more you call the public official to get that document he doesn't want to give you, the easier it becomes and the more pleasure you get in doing it.... I'm not sure that writing gets easier over time. The hardest thing is figuring out how to keep the reader from throwing it down and getting a beer instead." — Katherine Boo
