Overview
The Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ) is the only North American membership association of professional journalists dedicated to more and better coverage of environment-related issues through high-quality, objective, and independent journalism. The Society’s Fund for Environmental Journalism was established in 2011 to invest in public service reporting on the environment and the journalists who produce it, and support development and dissemination of significant coverage that otherwise could not be completed. This project grant will support the Fund in establishing a new project to increase independent journalism coverage on public lands issues in the U.S. West, including support for High Country News and the 2018 SEJ conference in Colorado.
