OGDEN — Utah journalists involved in the Great Salt Lake Collaborative, the initiative meant to help save the lake, will be featured speakers at a presentation in Ogden on Monday.
The gathering goes from 6:30-7:30 pm and will be held at the Main Library in Ogden, 2464 Jefferson Ave. The speakers will also offer a presentation on Tuesday from 6:30-7:30 pm at the Syracuse Library, 1875 S. 2000 West in Syracuse.
In attendance will be reporters from The Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret News and Fox 13.
The journalists will share what they learned during a trip to California for the “At Water’s Edge” package of stories. The multifaceted package focused on drawing parallels between what’s happening with the Great Salt Lake and what’s happened with Owens and Mono lakes in California, similarly withering away.
“What are the causes and consequence of a dried-up Owens Lake? What steps were taken to keep Mono Lake from suffering the same fate?” reads a blurb for the planned gatherings. The stories have been featured in the online and print versions of the Standard Examiner.
The Great Salt Lake Collaborative is a coalition of 23 news-gathering, educational and media organizations. They are teaming up “to better inform and engage the public about the crisis facing the Great Salt Lake — and what can be done to make a difference before it is too late,” reads the collaborative website.
The Standard Examiner is part of the collaborative and has contributed stories to the effort. More information is at greatsaltlakenews.org.
