Environment & Energy Daily covers the progress of legislation as it works its way from hearings and markups, through the House and Senate floors, to the President’s desk. In-depth stories are reported in political context, with links to the text of bills and reports. E&E Daily, is posted online by 9 am EST, Monday through Friday except during extended congressional recesses. The Monday edition is designed as a preview of the week’s impending action.
ClimateWire
ClimateWire was introduced on March 10, 2008. A daily news service edited by veteran Wall Street Journal reporter John Fialka, it provides top-tier coverage of national and global climate issues. Areas of focus include US state programs, US federal legislation, the development of a post-Kyoto climate regime, Kyoto protocol implementation issues, natural resource effects from a changing climate and how corporations are adapting to a greenhouse gas constrained world. ClimateWire also reports on: alternative energy finance, research and deployment; US federal agency programs, and the science of climate change.
Greenwire
Greenwire was founded in 1991 by former New York Times reporter Phil Shabecoff and published by the American Political Network (APN), a company that also produced the online political daily Hotline. APN was purchased by National Journal in 1995. Greenwire initially provided "coverage of the coverage" reporting: the staff would review hundreds of newspapers every day and synthesize the day's environmental news into 20 or so stories that were sent out to paying subscribers.
When E&E Publishing bought Greenwire in October 2000, the company expanded its mission to incorporate original reporting and include energy issues as part of Greenwire's editorial scope. It is now edited by Amy Carlile, who oversees the wire stories; and Cy Zaneski, who edits original stories about environmental topics ranging from climate change to sustainable design to agriculture appropriations.
Greenwire publishes by 12:30 pm, Monday through Friday, year-round.
E&ENews PM
In July 2005, the company launched E&ENews PM, covering late-breaking news from Capitol Hill and around the world. E&ENews PM is posted Monday through Friday by 4:30 pm EST.
Land Letter
The oldest of E&E’s publications, Land Letter was founded in 1982 by William Chandler and operated under the Conservation Fund on a biweekly basis before being purchased by EESI in 1997. Now published at 2:00 pm every Thursday, Land Letter focuses on natural resource issues in the West, from timber management to water resource allocation to energy development.
E&ETV
In January 2005, E&E launched E&ETV, a daily webcast designed for environment and energy policy professionals. Fifteen-minute episodes of the program "OnPoint" air every morning, at 10 am, featuring interviews with top figures in the field including senators and House members, administration officials, academics and authors, and industry and environmental leaders.
The episodes are broadcast in Flash video from E&E’s Capitol Hill studios.
History
E&E was founded on October 1, 1998, by Kevin Braun and Michael Witt following their purchase of Environment & Energy Weekly (E&E Daily's earlier iteration) and Land Letter from the nonprofit Environmental and Energy Study Institute. Braun and Witt had managed these publications for a number of years before buying out EESI's ownership interest.
E&E Weekly was originally distributed in print every Monday morning inside the Beltway and by U.S. mail to subscribers throughout the rest of the country, providing a detailed look at the legislative action surrounding all the environmental and energy bills in play on Capitol Hill. Today, E&E publishes in online format several times a day with a staff of over 50 editors and reporters. E&E was the first online-only news organization to be accredited by both the Congressional Periodical Press Gallery and Congressional Radio-TV Gallery.
In December 2007 E&E purchased a competing news service, Green Sheets, from Congressional Quarterly. E&E also opened a West Coast bureau, based in San Francisco, to expand coverage of California and the Pacific Rim, and a New York City bureau opened in March 2008.
