With the negative political tone against the news media, reporters are finding challenges gaining access to government sources. In this month's Crain's NewsPro we explore ways that journalists have worked around that challenge. We also talk to top educators about the state of environmental journalism at colleges and universities. In addition, we take a look at the upcoming World Conference of Science Journalists, being held in October in the U.S. for the first time. The October issue of Crain's NewsPro -- our popular annual edition devoted to the state of environmental journalism -- covers a wide range of topics of concern to those news media professionals who report about energy, science and environment for a living.
