Bluefin Tuna's "Wicked Problem" — Environmental Writing for a Beleagured Planet

  • World Room - Pulitzer Hall 2950 Broadway New York, NY, 10027 United States (map)

For decades, “save the bluefin tuna” has been both a rallying cry and a trope within environmental journalism. Join me and Columbia University’s Scott Barrett, one of the world’s leading scholars on tackling unprecedented transnational and global environmental problems, in conversation about the “wicked problem” of highly migratory bluefin tuna. We’ll tackle journalists’ role in telling environmental stories about our ocean and the natural world, and address what it takes to break through a noisy media landscape with your own book project or longform investigation.
