The Power of Journalism

​This panel, presented by The Margin as a part of the day-long Stories that Move program, brings together investigative journalists, editors, and photographers to discuss the power of investigative and data-driven reporting that centers the people and places most affected by environmental and climate injustice. Panelists will explore how fact-based journalism, done with and for frontline communities, exposes injustice and leads to accountability while uplifting solutions from the frontlines.
