Journalism & Media

"I served on SEJ’s board from 2022 to 2024, until I navigated a career transition that required me to step down from my active board seat this summer. I have two main reasons I am running (again), now to represent associate members: First, I want to finish the work I started. Second, I know I can be a strong advocate for members working outside of a traditional newsroom. I’m certainly not alone among SEJ members who have faced career changes in an unstable media industry."

"I’m running for reelection to the Board of Directors to continue helping SEJ and its members during a critical and uncertain time for environmental journalism. As we approach SEJ’s 35th anniversary, I want to help the organization grow and evolve so we can be around another 35 years and beyond."

"I’ve enjoyed these past three years of serving on the SEJ board — but that, of course, is not a reason to run for reelection. I’m hoping to continue to build upon what we’ve accomplished over the past three years in opening up SEJ. I am also working closely with the Program Committee on our upcoming Phoenix conference, and hoping to continue: It already seems that we could not have picked a better location to tell the stories of the American, and global, future."

"I’m a Swedish freelance journalist and photographer working globally at the intersection of science, environment and human rights. I just moved from Sweden to New York to live with my wife, and have so far been impressed with SEJ. The openness, transparency, curiosity and community seem genuine. I would love to support any way I can."

"I'm back! I’m running to serve on SEJ’s board again this year because I believe in its mission, and in the work that we do as environmental journalists. I've devoted my entire career to climate journalism, and I sincerely believe we CAN weather this crisis. But to do that, we have to inspire our audiences to engage in our work."

"I am writing to express my strong desire to run for a board member position in the Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ). As an award-winning environmental journalist, I am eager to contribute my expertise and passion to furthering SEJ’s mission."

"I am a Zambian multi-award-winning international journalist, who often reports on development issues including ICTs, human rights, environment, business and politics, working with a number of organisations, such as Bilgrade Media,  Efficacy News and DW (Deutsche Welle)."

"Since joining the SEJ Board this summer, I’ve been deeply impressed by both the amount of work that goes into keeping the organization thriving and the people doing that work. It’s also clear that SEJ is at a critical junction on multiple fronts — from staffing and financing to DEIJ+ initiatives — and I would love to continue helping the board turn those challenges into opportunities."
