The Knight Center’s regional environmental news service, Great Lakes Echo, has received a 2025 Print Environmental Journalism Award from the Sierra Club’s Michigan chapter.

Also winning an award was Planet Detroit, an online nonprofit news service that partners with the Knight Center and GLISA to provide a paid summer environmental reporting internship to a Michigan State University student.

Knight Center director Eric Freedman and retired senior associate director Dave Poulson accepted the award at a Sept. 20 ceremony at Kemeny Recreation Center in Detroit. Poulson is the founder and former editor of Great Lakes Echo.
