Hot Topics | Animal Storytelling
July 24 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT
Join us online for the Hot Topics in Environmental Law Summer Lecture Series, brought to you by the Environmental Law Center at VLGS. The series is free and open to the public. In addition to featuring live Q&A with the audience, each installment is eligible for Vermont Bar Association Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit.
This session, “Animal Storytelling,” will be presented by Stephanie Hanes, environmental journalist and VLGS Animal Law Media Fellow.
Reporting and writing about non-human animals creates unique challenges for journalists. We can’t quote them. We can’t interview them. So how do we pick what stories to tell about them—and how do we adjust our work to ensure we are accurately and effectively communicating about our natural world? In this talk, Hanes will discuss some of the pitfalls and potential of covering animals for mainstream media.
