Knight-Risser Prize Awards $5,000 for Western Environmental Journalism

Stories that impact the environment, and consequently the health of both people and animals, have long been a focus of journalists across the nation and increasingly, the globe.

Most recently, a chemical spill in Charleston, West Virginia that tainted the water supply and left nearly 300,000 residents without drinking water made national news.

The Knight-Risser Prize for Western Environmental Journalism is given for journalism in any media that best spotlights an environmental issue or story in western Canada, the United States or Mexico.
