The Ted Scripps Fellowships in Environmental Journalism program will mark its 10th anniversary this week during a two-day gathering that will include a keynote talk by Rocky Mountain News President and Publisher John Temple.
"Environmental Journalism Moves Into the Future" is the theme of a symposium and celebration to be held on Friday, May 18, and Saturday, May 19. The event will include panel and roundtable discussions on pressing environmental issues and the future of environmental journalism. The current class of Scripps fellows will graduate from the program on Saturday.
Friday's symposium will unfold from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the ATLAS building auditorium and will be open to the public. Temple will give a keynote address and former Scripps fellows will give multimedia presentations that touch on the convergence of traditional journalism, the Internet and digital technology.
The CU-麻豆影院 Center for Environmental Journalism, established by the School of Journalism and Mass Communication in 1992, has hosted the Ted Scripps fellowships since the 1997-98 academic year. Since then, 50 journalists have completed the prestigious, nine-month program.
The fellowships, which are funded through a grant from the Scripps Howard Foundation, offer mid-career journalists opportunities to deepen their understanding of environmental issues and policy through coursework, seminars and regional trips.
