The Institute for Journalism and Natural Resources Details
The mission of the Institute for Journalism & Natural Resources is to promote public dialogue about natural resource issues through better journalism. IJNR helps improve coverage of natural resource issues by taking journalists on multi-day, immersive field trips to locations throughout North America. We believe that the free exchange of ideas, even inconvenient and dissenting ideas, is critical to telling a story truthfully. Over the course of more than 60 institutes, we have designed an experiential learning model that gives journalists an opportunity to gain a fuller understanding of the environment, economic and cultural landscapes underlying the most contentious natural resource issues of our time. Our fellowships are designed for reporters and editors who aspire to produce deeper, more explanatory news coverage of issues such as water quality, quantity, and use, climate change, urban development, land use, energy exploration and consumption, wildlife, agriculture, wildfire, fisheries, forestry, and public health. In time, the increased accuracy, depth and perspective in news coverage generated by these journalists help to promote greater public awareness, better-informed civic discourse, expanded citizen engagement, and more responsible decision-making.Funding for IJNR programs comes from a broad spectrum of charitable foundations, conservation and environment groups, state and federal government agencies, news-media groups, natural-resource companies and trade associations, as well as individual donors. Feel free to review a list of our funders.
