Midwest journalists: apply for free environmental reporting workshop by Feb. 1 - Entrepreneur Generations

If you're a journalist from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, or Wisconsin, and want to learn more about how to produce in-depth pieces on clean energy, climate, and/or the environment, here's a workshop for you:

"InsideClimate News, the Pulitzer Prize-winning national nonprofit newsroom, will hold a two-day training for about a dozen winning applicants from March 7-8 in Nashville. The workshop will be business journalism-focused and will center on covering the clean energy economy in the Midwest. The training is part of ICN's National Environmental Reporting Network," ICN reports.

Reporters, editors or producers of any type of news outlet, including print, digital, television and radio, are welcome to apply. Though preference will be given to newsroom journalists, freelancers can apply. 

The workshop will be held at the First Amendment Center and all lodging, food and reasonable travel expenses will be covered. ICN journalists will conduct some sessions, and Vanderbilt University professors will conduct others. Participants are asked to bring a story idea and will receive individual, confidential coaching on how to best approach it as well as ongoing mentoring after the workshop. Attendees can apply for story development funds and other financial assistance. ICN may co-publish participants' finished stories to bring wider attention to them.

The workshop is funded by the Grantham Foundation, the Park Foundation, the Wallace Global Fund and other donors. Click here to learn more about the workshop and to apply.
