Meet the BIPOC Press: Is Earth Day Still Relevant?

Season 1 Episode 103 | 26m 46s

: Corporate greenwashing has hijacked Earth Day, but the ideas behind the holiday are more urgent than ever. There are environmental issues all around us, even within new stories like the Baltimore bridge collapse and the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. On Meet the BIPOC Press, journalists of color discuss how the idea of the environment has been siloed and how the media can undo that.

Aired: 04/04/24 | Expires: 04/04/25
Distributed nationally by American Public Television
