It’s no exaggeration to say the environment is the journalistic story of the 21st century: hurricanes, floods, freak storms, wildfires, warming oceans, droughts, extinctions. We are living in a time of multiple environmental crises. What role does journalism play in reporting on climate change? To what extent is today’s journalism equipped to report these multiple crises in a way that will help the public make informed political choices?

Join CHMA News Director Erica Butler as she moderates a panel discussion on the role of journalists in covering the climate crisis.

She will be joined by:

Bill Lahey (MtA ‘83), President & Vice-Chancellor and Professor of Law, University of King’s College and Rhodes Scholar

Linda Pannozzo, Award-winning author and freelance journalist

William Wolfe-Wylie (MtA ‘07), Manager Data Services and Open Data, Chief Data Office, Employment and Social Development Canada
