Equitable representation of perspectives requires a range of viewpoints from both journalists and their sources. News coverage of environmental and other scientific issues requires careful consideration and communication of science and social contexts. Simon Moya Smith, contributing Columnist, NBC and CNN, shared his prospective on how Native Americans are portrayed by the news media, academia, and society at Metcalf Institute’s #InclusiveScicomm Symposium. The symposium was held in collaboration with Rhode Island Coastal Ecology Assessment Innovation & Modeling (RI-C-AIM) at the University of Rhode Island, September 28 -29, 2018.
