SEJ holds webinars, regional conferences and other events to help its more than 1,400 members polish their craft and get important background on current environmental issues. Do you have an idea for your organization to partner with SEJ on an event in your area? Let us know.
SEJ's annual conference brings together journalists, scientists, government officials, advocacy leaders and others to explore the many facets of environmental stories in order to improve the quality and accuracy of environmental reporting. Annual conferences are open to both SEJ members and those who are not members.
Wanted: Mentors! Member-to-member help is an important part of SEJ's mission to improve environmental journalism, and that's what our mentoring program is all about. We pair veteran environmental reporters with newcomers to the beat, university students, or with less experienced reporters who want to improve their skills. Apply to be a mentor or mentee. You must be an SEJ member. Not a member? Join us.
Here you'll find FOIA basics; key online resources; SEJ's WatchDog, news and tools on access to environmental information; volunteer Freedom of Information Task Force; and positions taken by SEJ advocating access to environmental information and supporting media's right to know on behalf of the public.
Check out the many awards and fellowships competitions with recurring deadlines, such as the Fund for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) Grants, the IRP Reporting Trip to Nepal and the UC Berkeley-11th Hour Food and Farming Journalism Fellowship.

EPA Administrator Steven Johnson steadfastly refused to disclose to the House Oversight Committee this week almost any documents or information about his contacts with the White House. His repeated refusal to do so may set up a legislative-executive confrontation involving subpoenas, claims of executive privilege, and contempt of Congress findings.
