Earth Journalism Network – Empowering Local Media World Wide

Internews Network developed the Earth Journalism Network (EJN) to empower and enable journalists from developing countries to cover the environment more effectively. EJN will establish networks of environmental journalists in countries where they don’t exist, and build their capacity where they do, through training workshops, support for production and distribution, and dispersing small grants.

What: Our main goal at the Earth Journalism Network is to empower and enable journalists from developing countries to cover the environment more effectively.

How: We will achieve this by establishing networks of environmental journalists in countries where they don’t exist, and building their capacity where they do, through training workshops, support for production and distribution, and dispersing small grants. The network will not only allow journalists to support each other, but also help them to gain increased access to foreign markets for their stories, in part through developing our own programming for satellite, cable and public television. This media-based version of social entrepreneurship will ensure that important environmental stories from developing countries reach a larger international audience, and provide journalists with critical financial support, enabling them to cover important stories which otherwise go untold.
