collage of Earth Island Journal covers

Our quarterly magazine combines investigative journalism and thought-provoking essays that make the subtle but profound connections between the environment and other contemporary issues.

Our mix of hard-hitting exposés and inspiring stories of grassroots movements for sustainability has won us numerous awards through the years. We have won a half dozen Project Censored Awards for uncovering stories ignored by larger media outlets. On three occasions, Utne Reader has recognized the Journal for top environmental coverage, most recently in 2007, when the Utne editors wrote: “The environment is surely the biggest news story of our day, and we're glad Earth Island Journal is on it.”

The Journal’s unique brand of environmental journalism is a key resource for anyone eager to help protect our shared planet.
