The story of climate change — its effects and the search for solutions — is a global one, but PublicSource’s forthcoming project aims to make the defining issue feel local, relatable and accessible to the Pittsburgh area. By increasing the visibility of climate coverage, PublicSource will be giving the climate story the attention and prominence that scientists have long said it demands.
Our reporting will be published Sept. 16-26 as part of #CoveringClimateNow, a collaboration of more than 150 news outlets from around the world. The stories, visuals and interactive elements we are producing aim to equip local residents and leaders with the information they need to take action.
PublicSource knows from reader surveys that coverage of the environment is of paramount importance to Pittsburghers. Will you join us with a tax-deductible gift of $35 (or more)?We are hoping to secure at least 20% of the funding this week to help support the research and interviews already underway.
We recognize climate change as a topic that touches all of our coverage areas and have put the entire PublicSource team on the issue to help communicate with Pittsburgh-area residents how this will affect their lives. Now we need you, our readers, to support this vital reporting package.
Thank you,
The PublicSource team
