Welcome news: Toronto Star to hire environmental reporter and science/technology reporter
Just heard from my colleagues at the Toronto Star that the newspaper is hiring four new beat reporters, including a person to cover international, national and local environmental issues and another to cover the world of science and technology. Both are great ideas, and there will be overlap when it comes to environmental and climate change and green technology. Bravo to The Star for hiring where no other paper these days seems willing to make the investment. Hopefully this will dramatically improve the The Star’s coverage and reader understanding of climate issues and wider environmental concerns.

That’s awesome. Kudos to The Star. Covering environmental issues is more important than ever. Maybe it’s comeback time!

Terrific news, in a time when we’ve been seeing a dreary litany of staff cuts and financial squeeze in so many news media.
