Stories from newsrooms around the state that advance a sustainable NJ
A project of CivicStory
Eleven journalists comprise the current group of New Jersey Sustainability Reporting Fellows, who report on environmental sustainability action in New Jersey. This is the largest group of fellows since the multi-year collaborative news project launched, in 2019, to help accelerate New Jersey’s pivot to sustainability and away from ecological deterioration.
The four-month fellowship supports journalists and their newsrooms with per-story stipends, opportunities to learn about sustainability topics, access to sustainability experts statewide, and enhanced visibility for fellows’ stories, which are co-published or co-aired by their own newsroom and on this website.
Sign up for our newsletter to learn when CivicStory will start accepting applications to join the next group of fellows.
