Disinformation about climate change often is spread without regard for human or environmental consequences. Journalists supported by ICFJ+, a venture led by the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), Code for Africa and Proto, are exposing this deception through cutting-edge investigative reporting.
Khalid Bencherif is a freelance investigative journalist who works on environment reporting and AI-related projects. Originally from Morocco's Tafilalet region, he is currently based in Berlin.
For Bencherif, winning the Elliott Award was a big career boost. “ICFJ gave me a strong push to develop my career, it enhanced my CV crucially, which led me to get more journalism opportunities, including fellowships and grants,” he says.
Last month, The Jakarta Post requested Jody McPhillips and I to help them develop program plan on environmental journalism training workshop on climate change issues for the Post's journalists who will cover climate change conference in Bali.
