We recently launched a global campaign to publish climate stories from around the world and the feedback was amazing!! Ideas came pouring in and it goes to show how many fantastic climate stories we have in us and need to be told.
Now, we’re excited to connect with you through this first community hangout! You’ll meet with our Editor-in-Chief, Sebastian Rodriguez, who is all prepped to reflect on the pitches, share the mistakes made, give you insights into exactly what we’re looking for, and tell you all about the awesome upcoming opportunities!
Sebastian will be joined by Patricia Valerio, our Media Research Manager, as she shares tips for effectively conducting media research and gleaning stories through your investigations. Patricia is currently leading our explorations into the coverage of plastics and plastic usage in Southeast Asia and she’s primed to dive into this with you.
Bonus 😉 There’ll be a little cash prize for the winners of our hands-on group pitching practice session.
DATE: Thursday 17th June, 2021
TIME: 8am (GMT-4)
