SUMMARY:Climate Journalism: Free Online Course on Investigative Reporting for Every Beat
DESCRIPTION:“Climate change now runs through every reporting beat\, from energy and politics to food systems\, health and local news\, making it one of the most complex stories journalists can investigate today. \n“Yet\, despite its reach\, it remains one of the most challenging topics to cover\, especially when it comes to following power\, money and accountability across systems and borders. \n“To tackle this growing issue\, the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas and the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN) have joined forces to offer a new free online course: ‘Climate journalism: investigative reporting for every beat.’ The course will run from June 1 to June 28\, 2026\, and is offered in English and Spanish.”

SUMMARY:From Big Ag to Big Aquaculture\, Finding Overlooked Stories
DESCRIPTION:“Factory-farmed seafood is the fastest-growing source of seafood worldwide\, and right now in the U.S.\, the aquaculture industry is promoting farmed fish as a sustainable alternative to wild-caught seafood. But that framing buries direct links between this form of food production and land-based industrial farming\, including impacts on ecosystems\, local economies\, and communities. In this FFJN webinar\, join Feini Yin and James Mitchell from the North American Marine Alliance\, along with Laura Lee Cascada from the Aquaculture Accountability Project\, to explore how to report on aquaculture. \n“We’ll unpack industrial aquaculture operations and examine less visible impacts on coastal communities and wild fisheries. You’ll also learn how to explore underreported angles\, how to engage with affected communities\, and how to report with a critical lens\, so you can evaluate industry bluewashing and incorporate these approaches into your own reporting.”
