New Service Launches Today On SEJ.Org

• EJToday: An annotated selection of links, updated every weekday morning, to some of the best new environmental stories in newspapers, magazines and newsletters and on television, radio and the Internet. In addition to the story links, viewers see a brief description of each story, author contact information, and links to relevant background documents. An archiving system allows users to search for past articles by subject, author and geographic area. SEJ members are encouraged to submit stories here and to nominate work for The Gallery, described below.
• Breaking E-News Headlines: Links to fast-breaking news stories from Washington, D.C., Ottawa, New York or wherever else environmental news is happening, updated throughout the day.
• The Gallery: SEJ's permanent library of the best of our profession. A searchable archive of major series, special projects and other extraordinary reporting, including many prize-winners.

Edwards and capitolwire.com staff are combing the Internet every day for suitable stories. But the service's ultimate success will depend on the active participation of SEJ members and everyone else who produces or appreciates environmental journalism. The service can only reach its potential as the go-to place for the very best environmental reporting every day if YOU are on the lookout for good stories, too. SEJ's hope is that more and more people who use the service will nominate their own newly published work, their colleagues', or anyone else's top-quality stories that are accessible on the web. The e-mail form for submitting stories is short and easy to use, so participating is simple and fast.

SEJ hopes you'll want to visit http://www.sej.org and try out this new service today - and every day. If you like what you see, please talk about it with your editors, students you know, and colleagues who cover environment-related issues of business, health, science, politics, community, international relations, transportation and other beats. Let them know that they will find something useful in SEJ's Web site every day.
