Social media, traditional media and journalism play an instrumental role in services as the eyes of the public, access to information and amplifying messages. With such a capacity, the media as a whole possesses an enormous potential to amplify messages and accelerate mass mobilization for action on forests and the environment – however, it is evident that the media is still far from sufficiently projecting the role of forests in the global sustainable development agenda.
In this fourth episode of the #WorldForestVoices podcast, we hosted two special guests: Elna Schutz, a freelance journalist specialising in narrative journalism and podcasting, focusing on stories around science, health, and more, and Yeshiel Panchia, a freelance journalist working in multimedia, producing breaking news photos, photo-essays and video content for local and international publications. Both our guests participated in the GLF-FAO media seminar organised in the lead of the World Forestry Congress.
Listen and enjoy the voices of people and forests!
