Environmental Journalism
Welcome to my page dedicated to environmental and sustainability journalism!
My name is Natasha Spencer-Jolliffe, and I am a UK-based Environmental Journalist. I have extensive experience covering issues related to sustainability, climate change, renewable energy and the environment.
Below you will find articles I have written for various print and digital publications, including magazines, newspapers, websites and blogs.
I believe strongly in the importance of informing people about the environment and key sustainability issues. My approach to journalism is to communicate those issues in accessible and clear language which everyone can understand.
I also strive to profile positive initiatives and stories around environmental solutions, or highlight individuals and organisations who are making a significant contribution to tackling global issues.
Do you require articles, press releases or web content written?
I would be delighted to hear from you. I have worked with corporations, start-ups, NGOs, government departments and individual clients to create compelling content around sustainability and the environment.
Please get in touch if you would like more information. I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your needs and how I can help you communicate your environmental message effectively.
