. A recording of the 2021 Journalists’ Guide Event can be found here.
White House climate advisor Gina McCarthy gave an exclusive preview of the Biden administration’s Jan. 27 rollout of climate initiatives to more than 1,100 journalists, environmental experts and others watching a virtual program organized the same day by Society of Environmental Journalists.
The SEJ’s ninth annual Journalists’ Guide to Energy & Environment look-ahead event, entirely online due to the pandemic, was hosted for the second year by the National Geographic Society and co-sponsored by the Wilson Center.
Even as President Biden was introducing his massive climate plan at a “Climate Day” media event at the White House (check out the subsequent news coverage), McCarthy made her SEJ appearance in a pre-taped interview with CBS News’ Jeff Berardelli.

Editor’s note: The Front Page is a biweekly newsletter from The Objective, a publication that offers reporting, first-person commentary, and reported essays on how journalism has misrepresented or excluded specific communities in coverage, as well as how newsrooms have treated staff from those communities.

McDonald’s Sausage McMuffins are not the breakfast of champions. They’re the breakfast of white supremacists, according to The Atlantic.
Coverage of the insurrection at the Capitol has varied wildly among outlets and reporters, revealing, yet again, the media’s failure to adequately cover the white supremacy that existed in the United States long before the rise of President Donald Trump. Journalists of color remain unsurprised.
