A mysterious environmental group with backing from the head of a renewable energy company has quietly given grants to local newsrooms in an effort to boost climate reporting.
Still, the newspapers that have received financial support from 1Earth Fund have said the group doesn't influence their editorial judgment. When asked about 1Earth Fund's ties to the Southwire Company, a spokesperson for the AJC said the outlet maintains"strict editorial independence at all times to protect journalistic integrity."
"In addition, we include a disclosure to every climate story supported through this partnership," Jaime Sarrio McMurtrie, AJC's director of development and community relations, told Fox News Digital in an email."The funders of this grant have never made any attempt to review, influence or shape our coverage, nor would we entertain efforts to do so.
Barr's resume states that she helped 1Earth Fund achieve its mission of"raising the public mandate for climate action," researched which outlets to"target" with climate initiatives, identified the most prominent newspapers in swing electoral districts, tracked"journalist output of climate stories" before and after they received funding to ensure effectiveness, and ensured that potential collaborators aligned with 1Earth Fund's stances.
"1Earth Fund is funded by a chairman of a company that seeks to gain financially from more of a transition to renewable energy," Balfour continued."The articles are sympathetic and almost promotional to renewable energy sources."
