Knight fellow: 'Journalists are vital in educating public on climate change'

Recently, Knight International Journalism Fellow Arul Louis discussed media and climate change with Dr. R.K. Pachauri, director-general of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), a New Delhi-based organization that focuses on sustainable development. Dr. Pachauri also leads the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.

Knight International's Louis has been working with TERI to create new online resources for media. With TERI and other partners, he is leading innovative environmental programs for regional journalists in local languages. He also has helped the Indo-Asian News Service expand its environmental coverage.

The Knight International Journalism Fellowships, a program of the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), pairs global media professionals with partner media organizations in key countries where there are opportunities for meaningful and measurable change.
