Covering the Conflagration: Reporting From the Wildfire Frontiers
"Wildfires are becoming not only annual events but also unmistakable signs of the broader climate emergency—scorching forests, forcing evacuations, disrupting ecosystems, and crossing borders. Covering the Conflagration brings together journalists who report directly from these frontlines, capturing both the immediate dangers and the longer-term consequences of fire. Jesse Winter, Visual Journalist and recipient of the 2024 CJF Edward Burtynsky Award for Climate Photojournalism; Nancy MacDonald, National Reporter for The Globe and Mail and Colleen Hagerty of the Solutions Journalism Network’s My World’s on Fire project will discuss what it takes to cover these events."
