Fialka joins E&E, leads launch of ClimateWire news service

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 8, 2008 -- Environment and Energy Publishing, LLC, the leading source for comprehensive, daily coverage of energy and environmental policy, today announced that veteran Wall Street Journal reporter John Fialka will lead the launch of E&E's newest daily information service, ClimateWire.

"We are thrilled that John will be the editor of our latest venture," said E&E editor-in-chief Kevin Braun. "John has an unmatched reputation for producing insightful stories about climate issues and bringing that experience and knowledge to ClimateWire will be a huge benefit for our readers."

ClimateWire (www.ClimateWire.net) launches March 10 and is designed to provide top-tier coverage of national and global climate issues. Areas of focus will include U.S. state programs, U.S. 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. Other issues ClimateWire will tackle include: alternative energy finance, research and deployment; U.S. federal agency programs, and the science of climate change.

E&E Publishing has for 10 years provided policy insiders with the most timely, comprehensive coverage of energy and environmental matters, including climate change. But the massive growth of climate related issues led E&E to conclude that a stand-alone publication on climate is needed to more fully and consistently cover the full range of climate news needed by E&E's readers.

"Our flagship publications, Greenwire and Environment & Energy Daily, will continue to cover climate and other energy and environmental issues as usual," said Braun. "ClimateWire will add range, depth and insight to our coverage of this critical area -- an area that will only grow in scope in coming years, as both a policy issue and an economic reality that will affect just about everyone."

“We want to broaden the horizon of the coverage of this sprawling issue, giving our readers a better and more analytical sense of the challenges, the opportunities, and the tough political, economic and social decisions that lie ahead,” said Fialka.

E&E has made a number of moves in anticipation of the ClimateWire launch and the need to meet the global growth of energy and climate issues in general. In addition to hiring Fialka, E&E has recently established full-time bureaus in New York City and San Francisco to expand its news-gathering capacity. Veteran E&E editor and reporter Colin Sullivan heads the West Coast bureau and longtime United Nations and foreign policy reporter Nathanial Gronewold leads the New York operation. E&E has also added a senior writer in Europe and is expanding staff at its Capitol Hill headquarters.

E&E establishes West Coast bureau, expands Pacific Rim energy, enviro coverage

WASHINGTON, D.C., November 29, 2007 -- Environment & Energy Publishing, LLC today announced it is establishing a new West Coast bureau.

Based in San Francisco, E&E's newest bureau is tasked with providing enhanced coverage of California's emerging greenhouse gas regulations; alternative energy technology development and finance; and the full range of environmental and energy issues facing California, the rest of the West and the Pacific Rim.

The office will be led by veteran reporter and editor Colin Sullivan, who most recently managed coverage of the US Congress as editor of one of E&E's flagship publications, Environment & Energy Daily. Prior to that assignment Sullivan was E&E's senior reporter covering energy issues, including electricity deregulation, global energy resources, FERC, the California power crises and other matters.

"We're excited to have Colin heading up our new bureau; he is a superior reporter with an eye for the big picture and a thorough understanding of a wide range of energy and environmental issues," said E&E editor-in-chief Kevin Braun.

"Colin also is a proven newsroom leader who substantially enhanced the depth and quality of E&E Daily's congressional coverage -- something that was a challenge considering how strong the publication was when he took it on in 2004."

Joining Sullivan in the West Coast Bureau is another long-time -- and award-winning -- energy reporter, Arthur O'Donnell. O'Donnell most recently served as editor of Land Letter, E&E's weekly news service focusing on natural resource issues. O'Donnell was the founding editor of the publication California Energy Markets, which he managed for over a decade. He was recognized by the Online News Association for Best Online Commentary (for specialty Web sites) for his column "The Business Electric" in the 2005 Online Journalism Awards and is the author of several books on energy business and policy.

E&E's West Coast bureau will be up and running in mid-December. Veteran congressional reporter Dan Berman succeeds Sullivan as editor of E&E Daily. Long-time E&E reporter and editor Colleen Luccioli takes over Land Letter duties from O'Donnell in early December.
