Review for Institutes For Journalism & Natural Resources, Madison, WI, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

At the peak of the energy boom in the West, IJNR organized a three-state, on-site tour of the oil and gas industry on public lands in the Four Corners region and the uranium legacy and coal industry in Navajo Nation (with a day-trip to one of the most polluting coal-fired power plants in the nation, a truly shocking experience). IJNR lined up an impressive array of meetings and presentations that kept institute fellows -- writers and videographers who specialize in environment reporting -- busy from early in the morning to late at night talking with experts of all stripes. It was a boot-camp style total immersion into the major energy and climate-disruption issues of our time.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

... my former beat as a public lands & energy writer

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

... expand the executive leadership roster

Role:  Client Served & I was a fellow.
