Welcome to the new Canary Media — everything people love about the old Canary Media plus everything people love about the Energy News Network, now all in one place. We will continue to be your trusted guide to the clean energy transition, with in-depth reporting on progress and pitfalls in policy, technology, and business. And now we’ve got even more to offer.

On February 1, Canary Media, a nearly 4-year-old nonprofit news organization that focuses on clean energy, merged with ENN, a nonprofit news outlet that’s been reporting on clean energy policy for 15 years and producing a series of beloved newsletters that aggregate the top energy headlines from around the U.S. every weekday. The joint organization will move forward under the Canary Media banner. 

At a time when too many media outlets are struggling and shrinking, we’re delighted that this merger enables us to grow our team of ace journalists and media professionals and expand our reporting programs and projects.

So what does this mean for you, dear readers of Canary Media and ENN? Let’s take a look.

Regional reporting focus

We now have dedicated sections on our site for four regions of the U.S.:

These will highlight the regional and state reporting that has been ENN’s strong suit, as well as Canary Media’s region-specific articles. These sections highlight how the energy transition is playing out all across the U.S.

New and improved newsletters

Along with our regional sections on the site, Canary Media is now pleased to offer regional newsletters, which round up top headlines about the energy transition from a wide variety of news outlets in different parts of the country. Here’s a recent edition of each newsletter:

Canary Media’s long-running newsletter, Canary Media Daily, will now be twice as nice, featuring new stories published by Canary and aggregated headlines from other outlets around the U.S. (The aggregation section is what ENN formerly called its U.S. Energy News newsletter.) If you want to read just one thing each day to stay on top of the U.S. energy transition, this is it. 

For those of you who want to read just one newsletter each week to stay on top of the energy transition, we now offer Canary Media Weekly (formerly ENN’s Energy News Weekly). 

Upcoming live events

We’ll be continuing our popular Canary Live events series, which hosts gatherings of clean energy enthusiasts in major U.S. cities. And now the ENN team is contributing its expertise to make these events even better.
