The one-day seminar will consist of two sessions, each featuring leading scientists and policy experts, to explore the latest information that drives local, regional and national responses to climate change and the implications for your news audience. The seminar will provide essential resources and insights for news editors and fresh story ideas and contacts for their reporters, as well as the ability to cut through the hype and find compelling, under-reported stories about climate change, including:
 
  • Session 1: What do news audiences need to know about climate change
  • Session 2: Bringing it home: How communities are tackling climate change

Travel/lodging assistance

There is no cost for news executives to attend the seminar. Metcalf Institute will provide a travel/lodging reimbursement of up to $250 for a limited number of participating editors to defray the costs of staying in Chicago an extra day.
