Do journalists who cover the environment report the facts, or do personal opinions about protecting the planet cloud their objectivity? Five leading journalists will share their views on the topic at a seminar on Saturday, Sept. 26, at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder.
The CU-Boulder School of Journalism and Mass Communication will host "Environmental Journalism: Beat or Bias?" at 5:45 p.m. at Macky Auditorium, room 102. The seminar is free and open to the public.
The seminar will feature the 1998-99 Ted Scripps Fellows in Environmental Journalism including David Baron of National Public Radio, Boston; Jennifer Bowles of the Associated Press, Los Angeles; Paula Dobbyn of KTOO-FM radio, Juneau, Alaska; Cate Gilles of the Navajo Times, Window Rock, Ariz.; and Todd Hartman of The Gazette, Colorado Springs.
The Ted Scripps Fellowships in Environmental Journalism help dedicated, professional journalists acquire knowledge to cover the environment more effectively and enrich the public's understanding of the subject.
The fellowship program is made possible by a grant from the Scripps Howard Foundation's Ted Scripps Memorial Fund. The program is organized and administered by the CU Center for Environmental Journalism.
