Stephanie Paige Ogburn -

I’m a journalist. I write mostly about science, agriculture and the environment. I recently started covering climate science regularly for E&E News and ClimateWire. I spent a couple years as the online editor at the independent, nonprofit magazine High Country News where, between maintaining social media, editing, intern training, website duties and podcast responsibilities, I also squeezed in a fair bit of writing, both for HCN and for other outlets. I’ve also worked as a newspaper reporter in Colorado covering pretty much everything, from education and arts to religion and breaking news.

Here are some links to my writing.
