The following journalists are in Durban, South Africa for the United Nations COP17/CMP7 climate change meetings in November/December and are available for freelance assignments. SEJ provides this listing as a public service to promote more coverage of this important issue, but it does not constitute a recommendation of those listed, nor does SEJ guarantee their work. Please contact individuals directly for more information or to arrange coverage.
If you'd like to be listed, or have other questions about the list, please send the following to SEJ board member Peter Fairley: Your name and contact info (email, telephone, Website URL); dates when you plan to be in Durban; what kind of coverage you're prepared to offer — blog posts, podcasts, video, photographs, print articles, tweets or whatever; and any relevant experience, clients (publishers/broadcasters/Websites) and/or credentials.
