Reveal
Fall Fundraising Special 2017
Three of our favorite Reveal stories from this year: our planetary thirst for fresh sources of water, food scientists trying to change what we eat, and the implications of a barrier wall that would span the entire US-Mexico border.
By Al Letson • • 1 min readOur first story drills deeper into our planetary thirst for fresh sources of water. Even as some parts of the world are dealing with catastrophic flooding, others are depleting what they need to grow crops and keep their economies stable. That's happening closer to home than you may think.
The next story is about something we all do - eat. That habit changes the environment, and some food scientists are trying to change out what we eat now...for something more sustainable. Needless to say, there's a lot of "steak."
This last story from Reveal demonstrates its commitment to telling international stories that can illuminate domestic issues. The program dedicated an entire hour to the implications of a barrier wall that would span the entire U.S.-Mexico border. In addition to the political, legal, social and environmental consequences, Reveal journalists examined the walls intended to protect another security-conscious nation.
