“Be curious, not judgemental.” This quote from the popular comedy-drama “Ted Lasso” is how a professor of energy law recommends we approach conversations about energy policy and politics.
“We can be a force that fights against demonization and the nastiness online and instead ask questions to people who introduce an idea that’s different or contradicts what we believe,” said David Spence, a professor of energy law at the University of Texas Austin and author of “Climate of Contempt.”
Spence was at the MSU School of Journalism where he spoke in an environmental journalism class and at a public seminar sponsored by the Knight Center for Environmental Journalism.
Insights from a Michigan Public environmental reporting intern
By Elinor Epperson
Everyone says this, but WOW – this summer really flew by! I worked in the newsroom of Michigan Public, the state’s largest NPR news affiliate, as an environment intern. I had never thought about doing broadcast before (other than podcasts). But I was thrilled to get the call that I had the gig and was ready to dive in.
The first thing I noticed was how friendly and welcoming everyone was. The rapport among the journalists and staff there is incredible. I had never experienced that level of healthy work culture at a job before (and I’ve been in the workforce for over 10 years).
