\n\t\tNARRAGANSETT, R.I. — April 27, 2005 — The Metcalf Institute for Marine and Environmental Reporting, based at the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Graduate School of Oceanography, has been awarded a $150,000 grant to support publication of its electronic newsletter for environmental journalists.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation will fund ten issues of Environment Writer (www.environmentwriter.org), which is in its 17th year of providing tools, resources and background information on environmental and natural resource issues for journalists who report on environmental matters. <\/p>\n


\n\t“The Metcalf Institute appreciates the continued generous support of the Hewlett Foundation and the commitment it has made to journalists and the public understanding of environment, especially population as it relates to environment,” said Jackleen de La Harpe, Metcalfe Institute executive director.

\n\tThis is the third year in a row that the Hewlett Foundation has provided funding to support Environment Writer.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cWe started out in 1988 sending Environment Writer to 300 journalists and grew to reach about 1,100. It became a bible for journalists covering environment and population issues,\u201d said Bud Ward, the publication\u2019s editor and an adjunct professor of journalism at the 溏心vlog免费B站. \u201cNow that it\u2019s an electronic publication, hits to the website have increased enormously thanks to the additional interest of journalism educators, public relations people, researchers and others.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nIn addition to funding publication of Environment Writer, the Hewlett Foundation

\ngrant also funds other efforts by the Metcalf Institute to help journalists understand the relationship between a growing population and its environmental impacts, including the publication of a series of comprehensive background documents on specific issues.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe Metcalf Institute was established in 1997 to help journalists become better informed about science and research and to strengthen communication between journalists and scientists. It was funded initially by the Telaka Foundation and the foundations of three news organizations: A.H. Belo Corporation, owner of the Dallas Morning News and The Providence Journal, The Providence Journal Company, and the Philip L. Graham Fund, the foundation of The Washington Post. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
