Part 5 of the Wednesday Workshop: Covering Indian Country, Public Lands and Environmental Justice in the West Public Lands Reporting From the Extremes: How to Cover Holistically This panel will talk with reporters and editors covering anti-government groups, anti-American Indian organizations and other extremists, which often coalesce around conflicts over public land. Who is the public, and how does that echo through extreme views? Whose land is at the center of the debate, and whose land was it? We'll hear from local reporters and regional editors on how to cover public lands holistically from Bears Ears to Bundy to the Flathead Valley. The goal is to better prepare reporters who cover these conflicts, to seek the nuance and context to tell better stories whether they're freelance, local or national reporters. Moderator: Anna Smith, Assistant Editor, High Country News Speakers: Brian Calvert, Editor-in-Chief, High Country News Kalen Goodluck, Journalist and Photographer Bill Morlin, Freelance Journalist
