Get to Know Us

The Planet Magazine is dedicated to environmental awareness and advocacy through responsible journalism.

The Planet Magazine is an entirely student-funded, written, edited and published environmental publication out of Western Washington University. Its mission is to provide resourceful and insightful community journalism while forming the next generation of environmental reporters and investigators.

Prioritizing diversity, inclusivity and community at the center of its discussions, The Planet aims to cover environmental issues, developments and justice, promoting community voices and ways to mitigate hazards, or forward solutions to public discourse through thoughtful, ethical and holistic journalism.

Fact-checked and held to very high editorial and ethical standards by the team of student editors, The Planet is the award-winning bridge between education, journalism, environmentalism and community. Our staff, reporters and photographers are dedicated to journalistic excellence, and have been since the launch of this newsroom in 1979.
