Communicating Nature: Journalism, Environmentalism and Cultural Awareness
Communicating Nature: Journalism, Environmentalism and Cultural Awareness
As the upcoming election reminds us, almost every environmental issue has both local and global impact. Journalist Tom Horton and photojournalist Dave Harp will take a unique look at local and global environmental issues by focusing on the cultural barriers journalists face in communicating scientific problems to general audiences in different cultures, such as those that live off of the Chesapeake Bay and the Panama Canal. Horton and Harp have done substantial work for international and local publications, including National Geographic Magazine, The New York Times, Chesapeake Bay Magazine and The Baltimore Sun.
