Dot Earth is an environmental blog associated to media by science writer Andrew Revkin for The New York Times.[1] The blog's aim is to examine efforts to balance human affairs with the planet's limits.[2]
Featuring videos, interviews and other types of information, Dot Earth was further described as "an interactive exploration of trends and ideas with readers and experts."[2]
History
Posted on October 25, 2007, Revkin's first entry on Dot Earth was on "Cutting Greenhouse Gases for Cash Prizes". In April 2010, "after 940 posts as a news blog", The New York Times moved Dot Earth to the "Opinion side" of its online site. This move accompanied Revkin's move from a fulltime position to that of a freelancer, with the move being done to make clear the line between the two categories.[2][3] After nine years and 2,810 posts, Revkin ended the blog on 5 December 2016, just before he began work as a senior reporter for ProPublica.[4]
Readership
According to a Pace University press release—an institution with which the blog's author is associated, the blog "is ... read by millions of people in more than 200 countries from Brazil to China".[1]
