By Great Lakes Echo
Great Lakes Echo has joined a nationwide collaborative to provide better and more local reporting of climate change.
The Local Media Association selected the 12-year-old regional news service as one of 22 leading outlets in the Covering Climate Collaborative.
Echo is a project of Michigan State University’s Knight Center for Environmental Journalism.
It is one of two members of the collaborative where university students are the key journalists.
“Echo is founded on the idea that the best way to teach journalism is to do it,” said David Poulson, the editor and founder of Great Lakes Echo. “We are eager to extend that mission and even more eager to better serve our region with the support and training provided by the Local Media Association.”
