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

Rating: 5 stars  

The BP oil spill in the Gulf has shown the need for training that helps reporters explain highly technical environmental issues to the public.
But these are not one-time events - hydraulic fracturing, climate change, industrial over-fishing, subsidies for alternative energy and transportation- in a world that is fast approaching the limits of resources that have long been considered limitless, every decision we make have implications for sustainability and trade-offs that challenge our ideas of economic freedom and social justice.
IJNR, in my opinion, has the most effective and accessible methods for teaching reporters not only what they need to know to understand these complex issues but how to engage both sides to tell a story that is fair and accurate.

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

my working life every day.

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

expand the scope of their work to include under-reported regions such as the US Gulf Coast.

Role:  Client Served & I had the opportunity to attend a week-long experience based seminar that changed that way I reported on natural resource issues. I currently cover the oil industry and use the things I learned every day.
