As news organizations focus more attention on environmental justice, what steps can they take to ensure they’re truly serving the communities they cover? In this virtual panel discussion, we talk to both journalists and advocates from Energy News Network, Grist, and the Midwest Building Decarbonization Coalition about what equity in climate and energy journalism should look like, and what steps news organizations can take to move in that direction.

Panelists:

Audrey Henderson, reporter, Energy News Network
Rukiya Colvin, freelance writer
Marnese Jackson, co-director, Midwest Building Decarbonization Coalition
Adam Mahoney, reporter, Grist
Moderator: Ken Paulman, director, Energy News Network
