Dear Reader,

InsideClimate News celebrated its 10th anniversary last November, and our second decade isalready off to an auspicious start with good news reaching us two times over.

First, both the Scripps Howard Awards and the Society of American Business Editors and Writersawarded honors to our two biggest bodies of work from 2017—Finding Middle Ground and ChokeHold, both highlighted in this annual report—as well as two other ICN investigations.

Second, the Grantham Foundation gave us confirmation that it will be providing a major grant tohelp us kick-start the establishment of a national environment reporting network.

Why do we want to build this national network? Because the ecosystem of environmental journalismhas been hollowed out in most local markets. Our newsroom may provide safe harbor for talentedenvironmental journalists, but they are in short supply at news outlets in the vast middle of thecountry. A dangerous silence has descended on too many communities about profound changesafflicting our natural world.

We see it as part of our mission to revive and embolden environmental journalism so it can sparkcivic discussion where it’s most needed—in the backyards and main streets of everyday America.We have witnessed a great hunger for these conversations that have gone missing in the carnageof the polarization of recent years.

Our non-profit environmental newsroom is the biggest of its kind in the nation. We make the claimproudly even if we have only 15 people. We consistently punch above our weight. We went fromstart-up to a Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting in five years, and from there doubled our staffwhile journalism was going through a devastating financial crisis. Ours is an improbable story,and an important chapter in the coming of age of non-profit journalism.

Still, both Earth’s climate and American journalism are facing a long season of reckoning ahead.The two crises at the heart of ICN’s concerns are in worse condition than when we startedpublishing in 2007. American leadership on climate solutions has been thrown into reverse, andthe central role of a free press in American democracy is under attack. Operators, foreign anddomestic, are running amok undermining the validity of facts and rational discourse.

It only means that our work at ICN is as important as ever. It’s why, as we continue to produce ourjournalism and build our reporting network, we are also launching a summer journalism programfor high school students. Training the next generation of environmental reporters is part of ourmission, too, as we embark on our next decade of journalism in the public interest.

Bringing Back JournalismThat’s Gone Missing

As ICN has grown over the last 10 years into one of the nation’s largest environmentalnewsrooms, we have simultaneously witnessed environmental journalism all but vanish

from small, trusted outlets in the nation’s interior. We are now continuing our work to reviveenvironmental journalism by developing a national environment reporting network and

training the next generation of environment reporters.

Finding Middle Ground

“What was advanced yesterday is no longer advanced today,” James Beall said.He sees wind power and its continuing advancements as the future.

While Mel Omernick sees the climate changing around her, her father,Ron Behm, is skeptical of any human role in climate change and leans oncounter-arguments that scientists say aren't major drivers of the changes.

2018 SCRIPPS HOWARD AW

ARD FINALIST

ICN began an important search for an elusive geography in 2017: the middleground on climate change. Harsh politics and fiercely guarded values made it a riskyassignment, but writer Meera Subramanian’s talent and humanity provoked revealing

conversations across America’s heartland. Her lyrical and healing body of workcaptures the complicated connections that Americans have to the places that sustain

them—and just how tangled our notions around climate change can be.

Research by NEELA BANERJEE / InsideClimate News

The campaign of climate denial has been funded by hundreds of millions of dollarsfrom fossil fuel interests. It is one of the largest, longest and most consequential

misinformation efforts ever mounted against accepted science. The campaign hasconfused public opinion, captured the allegiance of a major political party, and

forestalled passage of laws and regulations to address the global environmentalcrisis caused by the burning of coal, oil and gas.

Our Media PartnersICN has greatly amplified its reach in 2017 through partnerships and collaborations with

over two dozen traditional and new media outlets. Our goal is not only to have morereaders of our signature work, but also to have our stories read by the people those

stories are about.

We are supported primarily through grants for general support from charitablefoundations and also tax-deductible donations from our readers. Donors whosupport our award-winning environmental journalism have no access to our

editorial process or decision-making.

Our institutional donors include:

Our Funders

Corporate SponsorsThese sponsors provide financial or in-kind support to ICN. As with our philanthropic

and individual donors, they have no access to our editorial decision-making.
