The project:
This semester program – one of four international programs at the school – is part of the GEJI project on education within environmental journalism. It is the first large student activity of the GEJI project. Students have during February attended the workshop “International News Gathering” with a focus on environmental issues, and are following the workshop “Risk Reporting”. The newsdesk operates independently from the organisers of the Beyond Kyoto conference, but have kindly had access to regular press facilities and services. The news are published for free, but copyright stays with the group members. That is: use us, quote us.

The staff: The “DNBK” editorial staff consists of 25 students, with the assistant professors Jesper Strudsholm and Asbjørn Jørgensen as editors-in-chief. Ass. professor John Frølich and Kristian Strøbech contributed. Technical support and equipment was provided with professional assistance from the school’s IT Department.
