I’m proud to be the director of the Columbia Energy Journalism Initiative, a program at the Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy that acquaints up-and-coming energy journalists with disciplines associated with the field, such as finance, markets, policy and technology. Funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and others, the program hosted 19 journalists in New York in June, out of more than 80 who applied. My thanks to Jason Bordoff, the founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy, and his staff for including me in this ambitious program. Stay tuned for a new edition in 2018!
