Dan talks with Marta Hill, an extraordinary young journalist who he got to know during her time at Northeastern. Marta is currently a graduate student in the Science, Health and Environmental Reporting program at New York University, where she's also the editor-in-chief of Scienceline. In that role, she works with her peers at NYU to produce what she describes as “an accessible, down-to-earth science publication.” Marta is originally from Minneapolis, which makes it almost a tragedy that Ellen, a fellow transplant from the Twin Cities, couldn't be here. (Ellen will be back for our next podcast). At Northeastern, Marta served in various capacities at The Huntington News, our independent student newspaper, including a one-year stint as editor-in-chief. She was also in Dan's media ethics and diversity class in the fall of 2023. Whenever Dan teaches ethics, a week gets devoted to talking about the harassment that journalists face both online and in real life. It's a problem that's been getting worse in recent years, and it's something that young reporters in particular really have to think about before deciding whether to go into journalism full-time. Marta decided she wanted to explore the issue of harassment and student journalism more deeply in the form of an honors project, and Dan was her adviser. She wrote a wide-ranging reported article, and a shorter version of that article was recently published by Nieman Reports, part of the Nieman Foundation at Harvard. Her article, titled “J-schools Must Better Prepare Students for Handling Harassment,” lays out some concrete steps that journalism educators can take so that their students are not caught off guard when they encounter harassment at their student news outlet or on the job.  Dan has a Quick Take on a new nonprofit initiative to bring more and better news to Tulsa, Oklahoma, a thriving metro area with nearly 700,000 people in the city and surrounding county. The area is currently served by the Tulsa World, a daily paper that's part of the Lee Enterprises chain, which, like most corporate newspaper owners, has a reputation for aggressive cost-cutting. The new nonprofit, the Tulsa News Initiative, is built around a venerable Black newspaper, but there's more to it than that.     

The Monday keynote features a panel discussion moderated by our EVP and COO Jeremy Wilson. Serving on the panel are three retail representatives who are in the field and plugged into challenges and opportunities in data gathering for environmental reporting in sustainability and carbon programs: Brian Henze from Growmark, Trey Colley from Greenpoint Ag, and Caleb Smith from Keystone Cooperative. Also joining the panel is Michael Gomes, vice president, sustainability at Topcon. With expertise in field computing and data collection and the impact of each on the value chain, Gomes and will share his perspective on how we achieve success with the environmental reporting data we acquire.

CSRD, Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, is a new EU law requiring companies to disclose their environmental and social impacts, aiming to help stakeholders better assess sustainability performance and related risks.In this episode, we hear from ESG experts Anna Csonka, Senior Sustainability Regulations Expert at denxpert; Emmanuel Zinsu, Head of ESG/Sustainability at HPC Germany; Lida Tan, President of Anew Global Consulting; and Richard Taylor, Senior Project Manager at Antea Group USA, on CSRD's global impact on sustainability practices in businesses.They explore the complexities and impacts of CSRD, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges of integrating these standards into business practices. They discuss how adopting CSRD can drive positive change and enhance sustainability within operations.---------Guest Quotes“It's honestly one of the most beautiful things about the CSRD. It's this European focused legislation. The idea of legislation being beautiful is, um, oxymoronic, but it's really this ask to increase transparency regardless of your nationality.” - Richard Taylor“We are excited that data is going to be audited. So there has to be some validity to it…You really have to put in effort to make sure the data you collect is usable, is credible.” - Lida Tan“Right now, we are shifting to an era where we are given the opportunity to actually collect data on our non-financial matrices, which in history has never been the case. So now we're actually talking about understanding the total value creation of a company, not only based on finance or capital, you understand? So being able to capture this data, understanding your supply chain, having these matrices within your control helps you, as a firm, to be able to measure, manage them and continuously improve upon them, because we all know you cannot develop what you don't measure.” - Emmanuel Zinsu“Don't be afraid of being transparent and vulnerable. This technique of telling all the positive sustainability stories just didn't really work out before, people stopped believing in it. By opening up and showing your negative side and negative impact as well, but still show that, okay, yes, I admit to it. I do have this negative footprint, but here are my actions and my plans to actually make up for it, and do it and drive positive change. I think that's just so refreshing for customers, consumers alike.” - Anna Csonka---------Time Stamps00:00 Introduction to CSRD03:36 CSRD vs. previous sustainability reporting07:37 Costs and benefits of CSRD reporting for corporations13:13 Global impact and implementation challenges18:12 Importance of data management22:11 Balancing CSRD auditing and compliance25:20 Embracing the opportunities and overcoming resistance28:07 Leveraging EHS for sustainability reporting29:48 Integrating local practices into a global supply chain38:54 Driving change and seizing opportunities44:10 Phil's key takeaways---------Sponsor copyRethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.

Sam Shiroff is the Senior Director of Global Sustainability for EnerSys. A multibillion-dollar business serving over 10,000 customers in 100 countries, EnerSys is an industrial technology leader offering stored energy solutions that meet the growing need for energy efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. The company's purpose is “Powering the Future, Everywhere for Everyone”. Sam combines 20+ years of international corporate ESG, sustainability, and community relations experience with a deep knowledge of carbon finance, energy efficiency, and the nonprofit world. Sam has held leadership roles in sustainability at nonprofit organizations and companies including Bosch, Deutsche Bank, and Signet Jewelers. He was a Fulbright Scholar to Germany, has an MBA, a Creating Shared Value (CSV) accreditation from Harvard Business School, is a LEED Green Associate, and is Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) accredited. In this episode, we discuss: ●      The role of batteries in transitioning to a renewable energy future ●      The enormous electronic vehicle market you never considered ●      An unexpected gold standard case study in the circular economy Key Takeaways: ●      Climate Tech – A Marriage of Growth and Sustainability. It's so cool to see companies—like EnerSys—whose business success is intrinsically linked to reducing carbon emissions. Their success is a barometer of our collective progress in battling climate change. The more we excel in this fight, the more they thrive. What if all companies had their individual thriving tied to our collective thriving? How would the world look differently? This is a model of growth that raises all boats with the tide. ●      The Ebb and Flow of Energy Consumption. I loved the description on how the power grid works—it's an exercise of balance, matching the energy poured in with what's drawn out. Consumer demand for energy is not consistent throughout the day, which is a challenge, but it's also cool to note that people are using the most energy during the day,  and when solar energy is available. It's neat that our own productive cycle mirrors nature's in this area. ●      The Many Gifts of Environmental Reporting. Sam's insights into environmental reporting sheds light on its multifaceted benefits within organizations. It's not just about compliance or public image; it's a tool that crystallizes sustainability strategies. It aligns teams on key metrics, sets benchmarks, and maps out ambitious goals. More importantly, it ensures a consistent focus on long-term progress and keeps the entire team engaged in the sustainability journey. When done right, environmental reporting acts as a compass guiding organizations towards a greener, more responsible future.

Written By: Matthew Fitzgerald and Sarune Ringelyte Narrated By: Gayle Crew CoreNet Global's the SOURCE magazine, May 2023 This year, 2023, was billed as the year that sustainability regulations will catch up with sentiment. Much industry activity to date has been voluntary as a result of shifting public opinion, but this year sees an influx of new environmental reporting standards, legally required and, again, some voluntary. These include UK, European and U.S. reporting requirements.

DEFRA has failed to file dozens of reports on environmental legislation, which it is legally bound to do. The reports are essential because they show the public and campaign groups how effective laws are at achieving their goals. The findings are published in a report by the Office for Environmental Protection, or OEP, which was set up to monitor how well environmental regulations are working and whether government departments are implementing them properly. The Food Standards Agency has confirmed that one person has died following an outbreak of listeria. It is warning people not to eat any Baronet soft cheese products after high levels of listeria monocytogenes were found, although the death has not been specifically linked to this cheese. The Old Cheese Room which produces Baronet told us in a statement that they have now changed their testing regime, and none of their other cheeses has been affected. A new report suggests supermarkets and the government need to do more to reduce the environmental impact of agriplastics. That's things like polytunnel plastic, plastic mulch - the sheeting that's put on the fields to keep the soil warm - irrigation pipes, fertiliser bags and even the microplastics present in fertiliser pellets and some composts. The Environmental Investigation Agency report says government policy around the production and disposal of agriplastics is lacking. As we continue our week-long look at farm waste, we visit one firm in South Wales which is turning waste farm plastic into products. They collect and clean materials like wrapping for silage or feed packaging, it's then turned into pellets which can be used to make things like fence posts.

Description: Our kids do not have to end up going the way of those we see in the media these days, focusing on themselves, fomenting conflict and seeding hate and division. Join author and award-winning science journalist Melinda Wenner Moyer and I as we discuss what science has to say to today's parents who are burdened by the daily and societal strains of raising kids in an uncertain and multi-tasked world. Ranging from perspective to practical methods, our discussion takes parents on a tour of what science has to offer parents looking to cut through the wispy fads to discover solid ground for their children.

Alexander Liu joins me in a conversation about his documentary “A Sexplanation”, which talks about his journey of coming out as gay in high school and his continued shame and disconnect over sex in his adult life. He talks about his journey into researching sex and sexuality and his changed conception. Story Behind the Documentary With society stigmatizing sex between men, in spite of having supportive parents, Alex went through a difficult mental journey coming out as gay in high school. He felt shame around sex, fantasies, his body, and had a hard time communicating his desires with the other person. His research into a healthy sex life began after opening up to his friends and realizing they had the same concerns. Evolving Conception of Sex and Sexuality with Research Soon after he began his research, he found normalcy around fantasies, anal sex, pleasure, and more. He had a revelation about his idea of sex and sexuality not centered around pleasure but around risk factors, health concerns, and societal stigmas. He started out by asking questions about orgasm and porn, which then evolved into him understanding sex and sexuality as sacred. Being introduced to gay sex through religion, Alex didn't realize it could be something meaningful that he could decide how he wanted to express. He saw the need to normalize sex, masturbation, and pleasure in the right way for kids and started filming a documentary by interviewing experts from all areas, asking them his questions, doubts, and fears around sex and sexuality. A Sexplanation The movie dives into Alex's narrative and investigates many aspects of coming out, navigating relationships, sexual stigmas, sex life, and communication with a partner. It shows his journey into finding his authentic way of expression and its significance. All of which are relatable to many people of all sexualities who are dealing with issues around sex and meaningful connections. Examining Porn and Sex Education in “A Sexplanation” Many seek out porn to see the mechanics of different kinds of sex, but it leaves out the realistic aspect of pleasurable sex. The documentary examines whether kids should be taught about how pleasurable sex works in school, taboo fantasies, and more. It covers talking with people from churches, conservative politicians, and planned parenthood about educating people around these issues. How can people become sexually literate? While people can get accurate medical information about oral, anal, and vaginal sex through trusted internet sources and planned parenthood, it's harder to learn to trust the people closest to you with your fears and doubts. It's also important to check personal bias and make sure it's not projecting from a bad place. Biography: Writer, Director Alex Liu's work explores taboo topics like sex and drugs in order to broaden our understanding of science, morality, and how to negotiate a meaningful life. He's developed two YouTube channels focused on sex and drug education, with over five million views. After studying molecular toxicology at UC Berkeley and Science, Health, and Environmental Reporting at New York University, he produced video, radio, and print content for NOVA ScienceNOW, CNN Health, and San Francisco NPR station KQED.

One of the many challenges facing any media outlet is keeping up with the constantly changing media landscape in the United States. Broadcasters, or as they're called now, legacy media, have had a tough time, in general, trying to stay ahead of the trends. Layer on top of that the competition they face from one another, regardless of geography, and you have a unique messaging challenge. In order to differentiate itself from other outlets and non-traditional media, learn how Northern California Public Media found a way to differentiate itself using content—specifically in the form of the Center for Environmental Reporting.    Episode Guest(s): Darren LaShelle is an Emmy award-winning Executive Producer for the science and technology TV series "Plugged-In." He has written and produced documentaries, studio-based and magazine series, commercials, public service announcements, promotional material, and news production.    Currently, he is the President & CEO for Northern California Public Media in the San Francisco Bay Area. Darren also acts as Executive Producer for all media projects developed within the organization. As well, he is the Executive Producer of a number of nationally broadcast documentary programs on public television. At California Public Media, he oversees TV programs and series, radio news and productions, Web site design and implementation, and organizational marketing.    He has a Bachelor of Arts in Radio/TV from Marietta College.   Key Takeaways: Differentiation lets you tell a more compelling, cohesive story  Differentiation lets you simplify your message It's important to keep in mind where and how your audience is consuming your content Useful Links: https://norcalpublicmedia.org/ https://www.youtube.com/user/KRCBtv https://www.linkedin.com/company/krcb-television/ https://www.facebook.com/NorCalPublicMedia https://marietta.edu   If you have guests you would like to suggest, email us at admin@spencerbrenneman.com or leave us a message at +1-774-214-9933.

Michelle and Mark are together again this week to talk with John Bohannon about AI startup, Primer. His goal is to build systems that continuously read documents and write about what they discover. He discusses his recent work building a self-updating knowledge base and the research his team just published. Perhaps most interesting is the circuitous path he took to get to Primer. Hear about his adventures along the way to becoming a data scientist specializing in natural language processing. How does a microbiologist who developed a pregnancy test for fish get distracted by Python? What does contemporary dance have to do with establishing AI policy? Join us as he weaves a common thread along his career path: encountering interesting problems and discovering creative ways to solve them. John Bohannon John Bohannon is the Director of Science at Primer, an AI startup in San Francisco. Until 2017 he was an investigative journalist and data scientist writing mainly for Science magazine and Wired. He spent the first half of his career as a foreign correspondent, including as a Fulbright scholar in Berlin. His reporting from Gaza won the Reuters-IUCN Media Award for Excellence in Environmental Reporting from Europe. While embedded with military forces in Afghanistan he engineered the first voluntary release of civilian casualty data by NATO and the United Nations. As a visiting scholar in the Program in Ethics and Health at Harvard University he focused on the involvement of doctors and social scientists in the US government’s torture program. He was also the scientific advisor to Isabella Rosselini for “Green Porno” (winner of 4 Webby awards) and “Animals Distract Me” (official selection, 2011 Sundance Film Festival). He is the author of a peer-reviewed study of people’s inability to distinguish pet food from paté, which inspired Stephen Colbert to eat cat food on television. He has a PhD in molecular biology from the University of Oxford.

Remember when a Democratic congressman was sentenced to 13 years in prison by Judge T.S. Ellis for corruption, including cash stacked in his freezer? So why did the same judge give international criminal schemer millionaire Paul Manafort a slap on the wrist? The Republican Party is showing us who they are and what they are all about. ---------- The corruption in Saudi Arabia continues, including trapping an American woman in the country, unable to leave the country. ---------- The patriarchy crisis for young girls continues as Idaho Republicans block a bill that would have raised the legal age of consent to marry to sixteen. Why are Republicans so adamant about keeping the legal age to marry low? Could it have something to do with patriarchy? Thom Hartmann asks Democratic Rep. Melissa Wintrow, who is fighting for young girls in Idaho and around the world. ---------- Thom reads from 'Don't Label Me: An Incredible Conversation for Divided Times' by Irshad Manji, and then Thom welcomes Irshad Manji herself, author of 'Don't Label Me' for a brilliant conversation. How should we and should we not talk about our differences with people who are not like us? How shall we live in such divided times? ---------- Julie in Austin reminds Thom of the 'National Resources Management Act' that passed both houses of Congress last week. Mike in South Carolina (who is 80) and Thom both had grandfathers that called themselves socialists back before that was a dirty word. ---------- Luke Vargas with Talk Media news is again aghast at Trump's blunt and blind foreign policy.

February 1, 2019 Mark Schleifstein is a Pulitzer Prize-winning environmental reporter for The Times-Picayune in New Orleans and for NOLA.com. … More

Thom explains how racism- ever present in the Republican party- has moved from covert subtlety to conspicuous blatancy in an effort to influence voters. A bizarre right wing election ad is analyzed that links the Kavanaugh grievance factor with racial framing to malign Democrats. ---------- Callers chime in on voter suppression, racism, and the impending midterm elections. ---------- Talk Media News lends us Chief Foreign Correspondent Luke Vargas who comes bearing interesting stories; like the Pope goes to North Korea. ---------- Listeners call in on the issues of the day- will voters figure out that Republicans are in the process of mortally wounding social security? ---------- Thom interviews Dr. Joe Romm on the possibility that climate change could spiral out of control. ---------- Listeners call in on eating meat, hoarding weapons, and the ancient origins of aggression.
