Training for Journalists
We create programs for journalists ranging from open-access, online panels to bespoke, long-term engagements with news organizations.
Media Partnerships
The Climate Center partners with media organizations of all sizes to provide training that enhances journalists’ climate literacy and climate reporting skills. Bespoke sessions may address regional or thematic issues and are delivered upon demand. To request training, please contact redhot@usc.edu.

Training for Communication Professionals
We provide training online and in our state-of-the-art media facilities to equip climate communicators of all kinds to tell the biggest story of our time.
Media training
Climate scholars across disciplines come together in programs created to teach USC faculty members how to speak about their work with clarity and confidence on-camera. Those experts are then invited to present their research in climate reporting training sessions offered by the Climate Center to media organizations. The Center also collaborates with faculty to produce media about their research, rooted in climate storytelling best practices, like the podcast series Electric Futures.
