SEJ voices concern over axing of CNN enviro-science units

The Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ) joined several national and international science journalism organizations in writing a strong letter to CNN regarding its "shortsighted decision to cut its science, technology and environment unit in one fell swoop.... at a time when science coverage could not be more important in our national and international discourse." 

Feb. 4, 2025 — The Society of Environmental Journalists joined a coalition of 34 groups in sending a letter to interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Edward R. Martin Jr. and congressional leaders, demanding that Martin clarify public statements suggesting he would use his public office to threaten critics of Elon Musk and the new Department of Government Efficiency, and also to reaffirm his duty to uphold the First Amendment during any DOGE-related investigations.
