Meet new SEJ board member Caleigh Wells! Caleigh is a reporter for Marketplace, where she frequently covers the intersection of climate and economics. Previously she served as KCRW's climate reporter and host of KCRW's The Anti-Dread Climate Podcast. She reported with The California Newsroom on an investigation into the US Forest Service’s fire mitigation work that won a national Murrow award. She was a fellow in the Solution Journalism Network’s first climate cohort, and was selected to serve on NPR’s high impact climate collaborative. She has spent her career covering climate change for public media, first interning for ideastream in Cleveland and later working for both NPR member stations in Los Angeles.
When asked how SEJ membership makes her job easier, Caleigh said, "When you're the only climate journalist in the newsroom, it's invaluable to be connected with other people who share your beat. I appreciate SEJ's help in connecting with other journalists, the very helpful and educational SEJ conference and the story ideas that come from learning about my colleagues' work."
