Meet SEJ member Lindsey Botts! Lindsey plays a central role in curating Sierra magazine's mix of news articles, opinion pieces, service journalism and current-events explainers. He's always looking to commission stories about the environment, wildlife, public lands and conservation. He loves working with new writers and helping journalists find that special angle that turns topics into stories. As a journalist, he's covered a wide range of environmental news, ranging from breaking down the latest climate change research, covering public lands, elevating community events, explaining wildlife policy and exploring the impact of proposed laws. He has a bachelor's degree in communications and a master’s in journalism. For the past three years, he's made it his mission to elevate the voices of our fellow non-human beings.
When asked how SEJ membership has made his job easier, Lindsey said, "The SEJ conferences are the best. They offer such a great opportunity to connect with fellow journalists and really get inspired about the work that we do." Join us — apply for SEJ membership.
