The Environmental Desk at National Radio Project focuses on public policies that affect our natural environment. This Desk prioritizes the voices and stories of the environmental justice movement and provides training opportunities for independent journalists and individuals involved in community building activities.
Due to the increased power of multinational corporations, and because environmental issues know no political boundaries, the Environmental Desk works closely with the Globalization Desk. The Desk also provides training opportunities for independent journalists and individuals involved in community building activities.
In 2002, the Environmental Desk was lauded in the “Grapevine” newsletter produced by Antioch University New England.
Supported by independent funding sources, the Environmental Desk is free to explore and expose government and corporate roles in environmental problems. Please support the Environmental Desk.
