Bringing Sustainable Development Closer to the People through Mainstream and Civil Society Media NetworksRegionGlobal Programme SummaryInter Press Service (IPS) and the International Federation of Environmental Journalists (IFEJ) have partnered to commission environmental journalists to contribute in-depth, independent reporting on sustainable development. This partnership was created within, and is supported by, the Alliance of Communicators for Sustainable Development (COM+); IPS and IFEJ are both founder members of COM+. Communication StrategiesThis partnership between media-oriented networks involves encouraging journalists to use their voice to inform members of the global public about environmental issues, using information and communication technology (ICT) to share information. Local journalists from all regions may contribute their stories about key sustainable development issues online, with submissions accepted in many different languages. Specifically, IFEJ's network of individuals and national associations of specialised environmental journalists is working with the IPS network of writers and editors to disseminate news through the IPS website. The authors cover issues such as climate change, energy, water management and pollution, ecosystems, and health and environment. Short abstracts and photos related to each story are accompanied by links to the full article. Partnership is playing a key role in distribution; the stories are being disseminated through the IPS global newswire service, COM+ partners, Tierramérica, the IFEJ network and Terraviva and Planet's Voice, among others.
