Is Your News Organization Climate-Ready? (By Application)

Climate events—such as extreme storms, hurricanes, wildfires, droughts—as well as the need for news organizations to address long-term issues related to climate that affect their communities can stress newsrooms far beyond providing accurate and equitable climate-related content.

The climate crisis demands that news organizations think operationally and strategically on topics ranging from keeping their team safe; maintaining operations during major disasters; grounding reporting in scientific research; determining how their entire newsrooms report on long-term climate issues such as migration, food security, and more; and maintaining community-focused approaches.

In this workshop from the Metcalf Institute's Accelerating Climate Ready Newsrooms (ACORN) Project, participants will hear from newsrooms that are working on climate readiness strategies and then create their own climate-ready plans that include clear statements on how they will move from where they are today to where they want to be and mapping out six month to one-year plans to meet their goals.

Please complete this short application to join the workshop. Applicants must be registered ONA26 attendees and be accepted and confirmed to attend this workshop.
