Center for Environmental Journalism announces new Ted Scripps fellows Anonymous (not verified) Wed, 06/08/2022 - 17:31

The Center for Environmental Journalism is proud to welcome its 26th class of Ted Scripps Fellows in Environmental Journalism.

The fellowship is named after the late Edward (Ted) Scripps, grandson of the founder of Scripps Howard and a journalist who cared deeply about the environment. Since 1997, journalists have come to the University of Colorado Boulder to spend two semesters deepening their knowledge of the environment through courses, weekly seminars, field trips and independent study.

This year’s class of fellows is arriving with extensive reporting experience across a range of media platforms, including international outlets specializing in audio storytelling, digital writing and photojournalism. The journalists will focus their fellowships on specific areas of study, tackling critical questions concerning the intersection of climate change and religion, the economy and environment, climate change impacts on migration in the Americas and the environmental impacts of space travel.

“I'm thrilled to welcome the 2022–23 class of Ted Scripps fellows,” said Hillary Rosner, CEJ assistant director and a former Scripps fellow. “This year’s impressive group of journalists comes with a range of experience across print, photography and multimedia, and their interests span from finance to ecology to religion to migration. I’m excited for a great year with them.”

The phrase “fake news” is frequently used in 2018, but what does it really mean? Elizabeth Skewes, chair of the Department of Journalism, will outline the values that drive traditional news, as well as the impact of today's social media on news quality — and whether "fake news" is really shaping public opinion. Assistant Professor Pat Ferrucci and two other professors are using big-data analytics to understand how fake news influences the broader media agenda. He will discuss their preliminary results.

Nonfiction 101: "Author, Author!" book panel provides publishing insight Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 02/08/2018 - 15:39

Five former Ted Scripps Fellows—David Baron, Scott Carney, Erin Espelie, Michael Kodas and Hannah Nordhaus—sat down together at the University of Colorado Boulder campus on Feb. 1, 2018 to discuss the whys and hows of nonfiction book writing at the first ever Center for Environmental Journalism book publishing panel.

While each of these writers’ circumstances are unique in why and how they have pursued becoming nonfiction authors, they all returned to a similar thought throughout the discussion: to become published, make yourself—the writer—a high priority.

"The first thing you need is faith that you can do it,” said Carney, bestselling author of What Doesn’t Kill Us, The Enlightenment Trap and The Red Market.

“What Doesn’t Kill Us” – CEJ fellow discusses his latest book on NPR

“What Doesn’t Kill Us” – CEJ fellow discusses his latest book on NPR Anonymous (not verified) Tue, 01/10/2017 - 00:00

Scott Carney

For his latest book, Scott Carney sat barefoot in the snow, jumped into freezing lakes and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro wearing nothing but shorts, he explained on NPR’s Jan. 7 Weekend Edition.

Carney is an investigative journalist and a fellow at ��Ƶ’s Center for Environmental Journalism. His latest book, “What Doesn’t Kill Us,” explores the bodily strength and endurance that can result from extreme environmental conditioning.

As Carney explained on NPR:

Well, the idea is that humans - we evolved 200,000 years ago. Our species is basically biologically identical as that caveman way in the past. And only for the last about 150 years have we had control over our environment, where we can live at a constant 72 degrees no matter what the weather is outside.
But our underlying biology is designed to have natural fluctuations, both between night and day and also seasonally. And without those natural fluctuations, we're not able to exist in extreme environments. So I took it sort of upon myself, with the help of a Dutch sort of fitness guru named Wim Hof, to expose myself to extreme environments for about six months to try to create resistance.
