U.S-European Environmental Journalists' Summit
The CSIS Transatlantic Media Network and the Center for Environmental Journalism at the University of Colorado will host the first annual U.S.-European Environmental Journalists' Summit in Boulder, CO, from November 12 to 15, 2008. The summit will bring together top environmental journalists from the United States and Europe to compare different approaches to covering the environment and divergent public attitudes on the two sides of the Atlantic. Some of the biggest political differences between Europe and the United States are on major environmental questions, such as how to handle climate change and Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). The conference will assess how Europe’s image of the United States and U.S. views of Europe are affected by such disagreements, the threats they pose to greater transatlantic understanding, and how media coverage could be improved. For more information about the conference and how to attend, please contact Eve Copeland, Program Coordinator of the Transatlantic Media Network: Email: ecopeland@csis.org Telephone: +1 202 775 3226.
