I've been a journalist for 30 years, taught it for a decade, and was one of the first environmental journalism specialists in the U.S. back in the 1980s, a charter member of the Society of Environmental Journalists in 1990, a year I won funding as a fellow for the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
I've been published in the New York Times, the Christian Science Monitor, the Dallas Morning News, The Nation magazine, and in some of the best alternative weeklies in the country, as well as my own Web publications, The Southerner magazine and The Locust Fork News-Journal, where I've been covering BP's oil spill from the beginning.
