About the EarthNews Journal
EarthNews Journal podcasts start with a pretty simple idea. We focus our reports on people who are leaders and innovators — those doing real work in the real world. Topics can range widely from inventions to education to travel and media. But all of our stories highlight the people who are impacting their fields and places where they work and the broader community. Whi
le our reporters have our own sources, we also rely heavily on your ideas for our stories. So please send your suggestions for stories to [email protected]. Because we are a small team, you will get a personal reply to each idea. We may not be able to cover each one but we will try and we will respond to you. A bit about our team…
