Company Profile

Company Description:

Covering Climate Now’s mission is to help journalists — and newsrooms — produce more and better coverage of the climate emergency and its solutions. We call better news coverage an essential climate solution, a catalyst that makes progress on every part of the climate problem more likely by engaging the general public.

Co-founded in 2019 by Columbia Journalism Review and The Nation magazine, CCNow works to grow the climate-reporting capacity in newsrooms across the United States and around the world. Organized by journalists, for journalists, we provide newsroom training and background materials; organize newsmaker interviews and special weeks of coverage; consult privately with partners to develop stories and facilitate collaboration; and generally help our colleagues do justice to the defining story of our time. We nurture a sense of community and share best practices through a weekly newsletter, a slack workspace of 1000+ journalists, frequent “Talking Shop” webinars and social events, and our annual Covering Climate Now Journalism Awards. CCNow is a non-profit, non-partisan organization.
