GMA News Online managing editor joins Oxford Climate Journalism Network’s second cohort

GMA News Online managing editor Jhoanna Lou Albano has been named among the journalists chosen to be members of the second cohort of Oxford Climate Journalism Network (OCJN).

According to Reuters Institute, OCJN's mission is "to help journalists and editors develop their coverage of climate change and support newsroom leaders in identifying the issues involved in reporting on the climate crisis."

The network, however, doesn't merely focus on "individual pieces of reporting" but instead on working with hundreds of journalists to help them "develop how journalism and the news media approach one of the defining issues of our time" which is climate change.

Albano, the only member chosen from the Philippines, will join journalists from BBC, Wall Street Journal, and NBC News, among others, during the run of the OJCN, which is from July to December 2022.

Previously, Albano was also named among journalists in AAJA's 2022 executive leadership program. – RC, GMA News
