LA Weekly

I'm in the process of compiling sources and searching out resources to cover environmental issues. A couple of far: Grist magazine sends out a daily news blog by e-mail, which I've been following for a while; it links to stories in other news sources as well as breaking news in Grist itself, including Amanda Griscom's excellent Muckracker column.

The Society of Environmental Journalists maintains a comprehensive and up-to-date tip sheet for environmental reporters. I've made it my home page on Mozilla, replacing the Wall Street Journal for a while.

In The New York Times today, there's the weird tale of Ford's hush-hush effort to develop more fuel-efficient, lower-emission vehicles. Why would they suppress the information? Because they don't want to disappoint the environmentalists yet again, says the article. Ford had earlier committed to a fuel-efficiency goal it abandoned under investor pressure, for which the environmentalists pounded it with "stinging" attacks. I was heartened to learn that environmentalists have become so scary to large corporations.
