We serve as watchdogs of government, industry and advocacy groups and hold them accountable for their policies and actions. Already one of The environmental journalist, a distinct species within the reporter genus, is a recent arrival to the largest environment newsrooms in the country, ICN is committed to establishing a journalism. We date roughly to the epoch of Rachel Carson, whose scientific research pointed to the permanent national reporting network, training the next generation of journalists, and need for watchdogs to protect the natural world. Ever since, the press has been sniffing out human strengthening the practice of environmental journalism. insults to the environment, because our lives depend on it.

Carson published her groundbreaking book, Silent Spring, more than two centuries after John Peter ICN by the Numbers Zenger famously defended the freedom of the press against a colonial governor who wanted to silence as of December 31, 2018 him. Still, she was ruthlessly attacked for telling scientific truths about the dangers of pesticides by the industry that manufactured them.

Facebook likes (+1%) 31,337 3,000+ Last year we began a new effort to address a more pernicious silencing of the truth that has descended subscribers 133,362 individual donors upon our body politic: the quiet that has come because environmental reporters are in short supply (+37% over 2017) newsletter impressions (+50%) per week (+18%*) in the vast middle of the country. Our species has been suffering a dangerous decline in numbers. *even though two daily newsletters were consolidated into one We launched our National Environment Reporting Network to reverse the trend. We hired a reporter in the South and one in the Midwest, hosted workshops for colleagues at other outlets in those ICN Traffic Trends regions and entered into productive collaborations. We are expanding the network into other regions, 2011-2018 too, strengthening the capacity of local news to report on issues critical to the next election. 4M 3,424,663 1 We pursued our own stories to break the silence, too.

We make the claim proudly even if we have only 16 people. We never seem to have enough staffers, and certainly across the nation our species needs to come back from the brink to spark civic discussion where it’s most needed.
