“Chemical Fall-Out”: Must Read Investigative Coverage
Janelle Sorensen
Monday, December 22, 2008
If you haven’t seen any of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s environmental coverage over the past year, take a moment to check it out. Their on-going coverage of chemicals in every products has been exceptional. Rightly so, the team of reporters (Susanne Rust, Meg Kissinger and Cary Spivak) has won a top national award for environmental writing.
The team was honored last week with the 2008 John B. Oakes Award for Distinguished Environmental Journalism for "Chemical Fallout," an ongoing series that exposed the dangers of common household chemicals - particularly bisphenol A - and the failures of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration to protect the public.
Beyond simple journalism, their coverage also includes audio, video, home audits, room-by-room chemical information, and much more. Check out their insightful coverage today.
