Our project Dark Side of the Boom goes on to win @coveringclimatenow.org award for large collaborations. A proud moment for all partners who worked tirelessly to make this happen @earthjournalism.bsky.social @lukewbarratt.bsky.social @justinhendrix.bsky.social @ramshajahangir.bsky.social
Screenshot of the winning citation ..it says The data centers propping up the digital revolution — artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cryptocurrency, cyber scamming — depend on massive quantities of energy and water, often at the expense of climate-vulnerable communities that have little of either to spare. In this sprawling collaboration of 14 newsrooms in 11 countries, led by Internews’s Earth Journalism Network, journalists set out all across Asia to explore what exactly these data centers mean for daily life and the environment. In total, the 18 stories of this project add up to a map of the physical toll behind our fast-evolving world that is “brilliant” and “highly original,” judges said. The angles are fresh, the mix of shoe-leather reporting and expert insights make the stories authoritative, and the project’s layout is inviting, and even exciting, encouraging readers to continue learning more.
