Earth Journalism Network

Earth Journalism Network (EJN) is an Internews and Internews Europe project. Internews is an international non-profit organization.

Fellowships
Both independently and in partnership with other organizations, the Earth Journalism Network awards fellowships to journalists which allow them to attend conferences within the field of environmentalism. During these events, which have included several Conferences of the Parties (COPs) and Rio+20, journalists participate in activities and report on event developments for their local media outlets. Prior to and throughout these events, EJN holds workshops to train reporters on environmental journalism best practices.

Partners
At the start of 2013, the Earth Journalism Network established a partnership with the graduate School of Communication of the University of California in Berkeley.

Murder of Hang Serei Oudom
In September 2012, the Earth Journalism Network and the Society of Environmental Journalists circulated a joint petition calling on the Cambodian government to launch a full investigation into the murder of environmental journalist Hang Serei Oudom. Oudom had been covering illegal logging activities for the local newspaper Vorakchun Khmer Daily when his body was discovered with several axe blows to the head. The New York Times' Andrew Revkin called attention to this petition on his blog Dot Earth.
