Journalists
are heroes of democracy. This fall, we're asking you to honor
your journalism heroes by supporting SEJ's work to increase and
improve environmental journalism. If you have a journalism hero,
tell us using #HonoringTheHeroes. Make a contribution to SEJ in their
name and we'll add them to our Wall of Heroes. And you'll both know that you're
helping the reporters who tell the world's greatest stories.

Being a
journalist takes a certain amount of ferocity. You’re constantly
haggling with sources, editors, readers, critics, friends who wish
you’d chill out, and partners who secretly (or not-so-secretly) wish
you’d quit talking through both dinner and breakfast about whatever
story is currently under your skin.
You’re also
used to people saying “no”: No, they don’t want to talk to you. No,
they don’t want to give you that document. No, they don't like you or
what you do. No, they can’t pay you that rate per-word (or provide
health insurance). And no, you definitely can’t put that in the
story.
My favorite
journalists—the ones who remind me that our role is about so much
more than one story or even one community—are those who don’t seem to
ever care when they’re faced with all the no’s, all the critics, all
the obstacles.
