Your Call: Climate change reporting and the Israeli election

On the March 20th edition of Your Call, it's our Friday media roundtable. On this edition we discuss the Guardian’s decision to expand its environmental coverage and push the Gates Foundation and Wellcome Trust to divest from fossil fuel companies. What explains this decision? We’ll also discuss coverage of the election results in Israel and how it reflects the country’s relationship with Palestinians. We’re joined by freelance journalist Gregg Carlstrom and the Guardian’s Suzanne Goldenberg. Join the conversation on the next Your Call with Mark Hertsgaard sitting in for Rose Aguilar.

 
Guests
Suzanne Goldenberg,  award winning US environment correspondent for the Guardian.
Gregg Carlstrom Tel Aviv-based reporter for the Times of London.
