Some of Florida's biggest news outlets are banding together to form the Florida Climate Reporting Network. Brian Stelter speaks with three of the participants: Miami Herald climate change reporter Alex Harris, Tampa Bay Times executive editor Mark Katches, and Julie Anderson, the EIC of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and the Orlando Sentinel. Katches says the "story sharing arrangement" will hopefully move into "a second phase where we will be tackling joint projects together up and down the state." Harris says "people keep saying we're ground zero down here" in Florida, so "we should kind of act like it right?" The group also discusses the growing need for collaboration and the language used in climate coverage.
