Since 2004, Internews’ Earth Journalism Network has given journalists around the world vital skills and opportunities to improve environmental news coverage in communities highly affected by climate and environmental change.
As we mark Earth Day, we highlight a cross-border investigation into the “brown tide” of algae threatening the Amazon and Caribbean, the important links zoonotic diseases play between public health and the environment, the public policy impacts we’ve documented as a result of our work, and new opportunities for environmental reporters in India and Latin America.
About the 2021 Internews Fellows Program
Internews is thrilled to introduce the first cohort of our newly established leadership development program. These organizations – and the accomplished individuals representing them – include advocacy groups, digital and human rights organizations, media outlets, and other capacity-building non-profits.
Fellow recipients will receive technical assistance beyond what is afforded through a typical grant project that will enhance their organizations’ exposure, competitiveness, and sustainability, as well as support to collaborate with Internews in joint initiatives and events. Simultaneously, Internews will learn how to better serve our partners, and work to improve our own performance and accountability.

Twenty years ago, I worked briefly at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for a program that seemed hard to argue with – we distributed funds to help countries adapt to climate change.
Yet we faced some resistance, from climate change deniers and some climate activists. They felt that if people and governments came to believe we could comfortably adjust to global warming, we would not work to prevent it.

In 2021, we face a similar situation regarding proposals around ‘geo-engineering’. There is reluctance to even test these ideas, lest they be taken up as an alternative to reducing carbon emissions.
