New grant will bring more climate change, environmental reporting to NC starnewsonline.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from starnewsonline.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Reporter David Boraks will take on the role of climate reporter, expanding WFAE’s coverage of
climate change. He will focus on how climate change affects the Carolinas and how the way we live influences climate change. Boraks will produce stories that look at coastal erosion and sea level rise, flooding from more frequent and intense storms, and the drive for more renewable energy. Climate is one of the big stories of our time. Scientists have said we are living in a climate emergency, and yet many people are not clear on what that means or what can be done, said Ju-Don Marshall, WFAE s executive vice president and chief content officer. This grant will allow us to report on how climate-related issues are impacting lives in the Carolinas, the risk if things don t improve and what is being done elsewhere to address these issues.
