1/31/08, Week 3: Telling Stories About Our Environment
What is the depth and breadth of environmental journalism today? Is it a scientist’s job to interpret complex information-or is it a journalist’s job to conduct better research? We will use climate change as the lens through which we examine these issues.

1) “The Five Best Presidential Candidates to Address Climate Change,” Gavin Hudson
2) “Republicans and the Planet: Interview with Martha Marks,” TreeHugger Radio (audio)
3) “Little Green Lies,” Business Week
