Roving Reporters runs training projects that help set in motion environmental writing careers.

We focus on training environmental science graduates and young journalists keen to write stories for the media about key environmental, social, and justice issues.

In a democracy, decision-makers should seek the greatest public good. In South Africa, their choices often focus on the need for transformation, growth, job creation, and a better environment. But these aims are sometimes in conflict and decisions are often based on distorted or false perceptions. Sunlight, as they say, is the best disinfectant and Roving Reporters play a role in illuminating the facts and giving a voice to people most affected by these decisions. This is especially important when government and NGO leaders are reluctant or constrained from speaking openly about pressing environmental problems.
