ABSTRACT
The author of this chapter reports that, “The future of environmental journalism depends on journalists who are properly trained to deal with all complexities of a career in environmental journalism and capable of creating a financially sustainable journalism ecosystem.” He argues that good environmental journalism programs should be “directly connected to a number of professional publications, offer specific hands-on classes that allow students to work as professional journalists, have science and other environment-related fields of study, not as other majors or minors, but built in the journalism curriculum, [and] have links to professional journalism associations.”
