James Turner

Multimedia Content Creator, LMU I have made movies ever since I was a child and continue to pursue a career in film. However, more recently, with the world changing and awareness spreading, I developed a passion for environmentalism. These two interests brought me to Climate 360 News where I can combine two of the most important things in my life. This merge fuels my aim to spread awareness to the public about relevant and integral issues and questions and to ultimately elicit solutions.

Senior Correspondent, KSU My name is Connor Fallon, and I am a senior Advertising major with a minor in Media Advocacy. On campus, I am a member of Kent States Premiere A Capella Group, the Kent Clarks. Over the past year, I’ve been involved in helping to change the content of classes, and have participated in numerous focus groups revolving the College of Communication and Information. My interest and passion relating to Climate Change started when I began to pay closer attention to my consumption of plastics, fashions, and the weather trends. My biggest interest in Climate Change is the impact of our Fashion choices. Something I want to dive into with Climate 360 is our consumption of Fast Fashion and Sustainable Fashion and things we can do to change the effects on our planet. I am s...

Senior Correspondent, LMU My name is Kennedi Hewitt and I am a sophomore at Loyola Marymount University studying English and journalism. I’m a member of Loyola Marymount’s Association of Black Journalists and the Black student union on campus. I’m a former assistant news editor for the Los Angeles Loyolan and a current managing editor for the paper. For Climate 360, I am a senior correspondent for the LMU team. My interests include the race and class intersection of climate change. As young people, we are always told that climate change will be our problem to take on and address, so I'm excited to be a part of Climate 360 and explore how climate change impacts different people around the country and hopefully uncover some ways to help.

Content Producer, LSU My name is Domenic Purdy (he/him) and I’m a 20-year-old junior at Louisiana State University. I am currently studying journalism at the Manship School of Mass Communication with minors in screen arts, political science and history. As an opinion columnist at The Daily Reveille—LSU’s award-winning student newspaper—I learned the power of writing. Writing has the ability to shift a conversation in one direction or another and for an important topic like climate change, the conversation needs to be guided now more than ever. Our generation is facing a flashpoint in the climate crisis and with the right words, us at Project Citizen can advocate for a better world and solutions to the climate crisis.

Content Producer, LSU My name is Nicole, and I am an incoming sophomore studying chemical engineering and environmental science. I am involved in LSU's Student Government Senate as well as multiple on-campus organizations. Some examples include Tau Beta Pi, an engineering honors society, and Climate Pelicans, a climate change advocacy organization. I believe advocacy for climate change is crucial as there are so many misrepresented voices and stories in this movement. These voices need to be amplified especially from communities that have already experienced the direct effects of climate change. I have been studying climate change and a multitude of environmental issues for years, and I have noticed these problems will only worsen unless there is immediate action. I hope to explore the ...
