<p style="">We'll be in front of our computers at 3p EST as speakers Jeff Burnside, a Ted Scripps journalism fellow at the University of Colorado, Thomas Lovejoy and Ed Maibach, both experts in climate science and communications at George Mason University, kick off the event.</p><p style="">Matthew Daley of the Associated Press, Brady Dennis of <em>The Washington Post, </em>Nirmal Ghosh of <em>The Straits Times</em>, Pat Rizzuto of <em>Bloomberg Environment</em>, Valerie Volcovici of Reuters and Ariel Wittenberg of <em>E&E News</em> round out the panel. Scott Tong, from Marketplace's Sustainability Desk, will moderate.</p><p style="">Full disclosure: I've been a member of SEJ since 2001, helped shape the roundtable while on the SEJ board and even moderated it one year. But as director of an online newsroom covering environmental health and climate change, I've found the event invaluable for fresh insights on how to cover - and what likely will influence - our beat.</p><p style="">So if you're in Washington, D.C., <a href="http://pages.wilsoncenter.org/01-26SEJEvent_Registration.html" target="_blank">reserve a spot at the Wilson Center</a> and enjoy the reception. It's all free.
