  • Public Lands Reporting From the Extremes: How to Cover Holistically

    Part 5 of the Wednesday Workshop: Covering Indian Country, Public Lands and Environmental Justice in the West

    Public Lands Reporting From the Extremes: How to Cover Holistically

    This panel will talk with reporters and editors covering anti-government groups, anti-American Indian organizations and other extremists, which often coalesce around conflicts over public land. Who is the public, and how does that echo through extreme views? Whose land is at the center of the debate, and whose land was it? We'll hear from local reporters and regional editors on how to cover public lands holistically from Bears Ears to Bundy to the Flathead Valley. The goal is to better prepare reporters who cover these conflicts, to seek the nuance and context to tell better stories whether they're freelance, local or national reporters.


    Moderator: Anna Smith, Assistant Editor, High Country News

    Speakers:
    Brian Calvert, Editor-in-Chief, High Country News
    Kalen Goodluck, Journalist and Photographer

    Mining Public Records for Stories on Public Lands

    News is about change, and there’s been a whole lotta change in the management of U.S. public lands lately.

This session will offer tips on how to dig out stories about what’s happening and what’s at stake.
