Most days I survey what’s been published on my beat at the big newspapers and I do a survey of the Hill papers, such as Politico, The Hill, and National Journal, and the environment-specific news websites. Kate: I should probably be more systematic in my reading. Twitter also is a great news feed for tips and string. I delete most of the dozens of press releases and pitches sent my way every day, but collect string for possible stories in Outlook folders. Topping my list of scientific journals are Environmental Health Perspectives and Environmental Science & Technology. I also read Greenwire for updates on rules and congressional action in DC. My first read of the day typically is the Environmental Health News story list. I don’t track specific journals, though Environmental Science & Technology often publishes relevant studies, and I read The Pump Handle blog for occupational and public health information. I try to spend some time every day getting caught up on the news, but it doesn’t always happen-especially when I have a story to finish that day.

They told us which sources they call to check out their hunches, which databases they screen and which websites they prowl. #USING FANURIO WITH DROPBOX SERIES#Through a series of group emails, TON picked the brains of four writers who cover the environment for magazines, newspaper, and online newsrooms. How can an environmental journalist keep tabs on all these facets of science and still have time to file daily stories or work on features or months-long investigations? Environmental reporters need to keep abreast of news in many different niches, including climate change, ecology, ecosystem management, public policy, international relations, business, health, transportation, public lands, water, and energy. Taking on the environment beat is like marrying into a big, colorful family.
