Each summer, CGEP invites energy and environment journalists from around the world to participate in a seminar to learn about energy and environmental issues from experts in government, industry, and academia. The interactive program seeks to deepen journalists’ understanding of these nuanced issues and enhance their reporting.
The program is held in June.
The program will take place at the Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy in New York City.
There is no cost for attending the EJF seminar. EJF will cover the costs of air or train travel and hotel lodging.
The program strives to impart specialist knowledge that will help reporters look deeper at the stories they cover in a more holistic, integrated way. While we do not expect participants will emerge as experts in the topics addressed, they should have greater awareness of said topics and how they relate, thus creating the potential for fuller stories in the future.
Please note that this program does not teach basic journalism skills, as that is outside the goals of the program and expertise of the lecturers. The program also does not assign stories to reporters, or participate in any reporting efforts.
Energy Journalism Fellows seminars are taught by Columbia faculty and scholars as well as other academic, private-sector and government experts. To promote an educational experience, the seminar will be conducted under the Chatham House Rule.
Topics cover a range of issues such as climate change, environmental justice, global oil, natural gas and electricity markets, technology, policy, geopolitics, and energy access.
The program will strive to ensure that sessions are interactive and participatory. A lecture format will be used sparingly. Reading materials will be distributed in advance of the seminar.
The program is open to journalists covering energy and the environment for print, online and broadcast media, although preference will be given to those with 5 years or fewer of experience on the beat.
No, this program is specifically designed for currently working journalists.
Yes.
If you are a journalist who does not currently cover energy or the environment but will begin to do so in your professional capacity in the near future, you are eligible to apply. You must, however, show that you will be covering energy and environmental topics prior to or upon completion of the program, attesting to this fact in the recommendation letter from your supervisor.
A Review Committee will look at the applications of all candidates and, from those who meet all the requirements, make its selections.
No, this is not a certificate or degree program.
No, you will not be considered a Columbia student.
Yes. You must submit one letter of recommendation from your direct supervisor.
Yes, as long as their reporting includes documentation on their news organization’s web sites.
Yes, freelance journalists can apply, although they will need a letter of recommendation from an editor for whom they have done reporting. All other conditions must still be met.
Evaluation Form
Participants in the program will be expected to complete an evaluation form examining the topics and sessions, which will be consulted in improving the program going forward.
Six Month Report
The participants will also be required to produce a brief report six months after the seminar that explains how EJF affected reporting on energy and environmental issues during the intervening period and references 2-4 articles that illustrate the program’s impact.
Manager Questionnaire
In addition, the participant’s direct manager will be required to fill out a short questionnaire at this same six-month period after the seminar to provide an independent assessment of the progress of the reporter, and whether the manager believes that EJF contributed to those gains. Managers will be made aware of this requirement when they sign off on the attendance of their reporters.
