May 27 webinar aims to help journalists cover complex emergencies and climate change during the pandemic

How can reporters best cover complex emergencies such as natural disasters or civil unrest during the pandemic, and how can they best assess and report governments' ability to respond effectively to such challenges? The Society of Environmental Journalists will host a webinar from 2 to 3 p.m. ET Wednesday, May 27 to discuss the issue. The webinar is free, but registration is required.

Judy Fahys, Mountain West reporter for InsideClimate News, will moderate. Featured speakers will be:
  • Geoff Dabelko, professor and associate dean of the George V. Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs at Ohio University
  • Juliette Kayyem, faculty chair of the Homeland Security Project at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government; former assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security
  • Mark Schleifstein, environment reporter at The Times-Picayune | The New Orleans Advocate
