The Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs today announced this year’s cohort of journalists selected for the 2025 Energy Journalism Fellows program (EJF), which will be held on Columbia University’s campus in New York City from June 10 to 13, 2025.
Taught by CGEP Scholars, Columbia faculty, and other academic, industry, and government experts, EJF offers journalists the opportunity to learn about the intersecting disciplines shaping the global energy sector, including finance and markets, climate change, science and technology, policy, and geopolitics.
“This year’s cohort of Energy Journalism Fellows brings together some of the leading voices in energy and climate media from around the world, at a time when informed reporting on these issues is more in-demand than ever before,” said Jason Bordoff, Founding Director, Center on Global Energy Policy. “I’m thrilled to be welcoming this diverse global group to our program this summer, and look forward to engaging with them at Columbia this month.”
“There’s no shortage of stories on the energy and climate beats, and first-class coverage requires first-class journalists,” said Bill Loveless, director of the Energy Journalism Fellows program at the Center on Global Energy Policy. “The Energy Journalism Fellows program helps early-career journalists deepen their understanding of complex topics associated with these critical topics and report more effectively on them. I’m very happy to welcome these 20 enterprising journalists to Columbia this year.”
