Columbia names energy journalism fellows

The Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs announced this year’s cohort of journalists selected for the 2023 Energy Journalism Fellows program, which will be held on Columbia University’s campus in New York City from June 20-23.

The Energy Journalism Fellows program, formerly known as the Energy Journalism Initiative, offers journalists the opportunity to learn about the intersecting disciplines shaping the global energy sector, including finance and markets, climate change, science and technology, policy, and geopolitics.

“To address the world’s most pressing energy and climate challenges, it is critical that policymakers, business leaders, and citizens have access to fact-based and rigorous reporting that helps explain complex scientific and policy concepts,” said Jason Bordoff, founding director, Center on Global Energy Policy, in a statement. “The program is a unique and instrumental opportunity to give journalists access to the world’s leading climate and energy experts.”
