"What has six legs and can hold up thousands of tons of concrete?" It's a lead example that David Poulson, professor at the Knight Center for Environmental Journalism at Michigan State University, gives in his new blog on environmental journalism called "Cover the Planet."
The blog is a welcome addition to help the relatively small group of people who tries to take on the whole world in as few words as possible: environmental journalists.
"It’s daunting enough to understand environmental issues. Throw in the additional task of explaining them to the public and you’ve bought yourself a lot more trouble," Poulson wrote in the about section of Cover the Planet. "Now do it on deadline," he challenged.
