Writing Green: Advocacy & Investigative Reporting About the Environment in the Early 21st Century Debra A Schwartz

Is investigative reporting about the environment advocacy? Drawing on revealing tales of adventure from their own experience, six reporters who have written about subjects including pollution, health, and ecology discuss how their stories take shape and what they do to ward off challenges to their credibility. Presented in a question and answer format, examples of their scripts, articles, and book excerpts appear within these pages to show differences in approaches and help the reader critique content for fairness and accuracy.
