Coalition
The Out of Eden Walk Coalition promotes the ideals of thoughtful, immersive and meaning-centric journalism by encouraging the field’s scholars, media practitioners, educators, technologists, and audiences to slow down and absorb information slowly, ideally at the pace of a walk, as an antidote to today's often shallow and misleading saturation media coverage. Partners in our growing Coalition include:
