Updated October 5: Climate Journalism 101 has moved to fully online, from 6–7:30pm Eastern on Monday, October 5, 2026. There is no in-person session at Rutgers. Everyone, including people who originally registered to attend in person, should join on Zoom. You do not need to register again.
This free workshop with Brian Thompson and the Foundation for Local News focuses on learning practical climate-reporting techniques: finding local story angles, identifying reliable sources, asking useful interview questions, checking claims and communicating climate information clearly. Bring your questions and learn approaches you can use in your own reporting.
