Clean Skies Unveils Enhanced Energy and Environment News Network

On-Demand Platform Brings Users, Reporters In-Depth, Live Programming

WASHINGTON, July 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Clean Skies News, the nation's preeminent online and on-demand energy and environment network, today unveiled CleanSkies.com, an enhanced platform to better deliver breaking news from Capitol Hill to Copenhagen and beyond. Clean Skies' unique approach combines TV as the medium with the Web as the delivery method, giving audiences access to top-tier newsmakers in just one click.

Sponsored by the American Clean Skies Foundation, Clean Skies News delivers unparalleled breadth, texture and context for stories on the most pressing energy and environment news issues of the day. The revamped Web site, developed by the same technologists who successfully delivered CNN.com, is intended to be the critical destination for anyone interested in news, discussion and debate on energy and environmental policy in the United States -- and around the world.

With around-the-clock coverage and live programming during the 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. EDT hours, Clean Skies, unlike other news sources, is able to deepen the understanding of vitally important and complex energy and environment issues facing us today. Clean Skies has attracted top journalists from national and trade outlets, including CBS, CNN and Platts, to report on tomorrow's energy policy with today's newsmakers.

"With the media landscape changing and Americans looking for news in one click, CleanSkies.com provides in-depth and transparent reporting that only an on-demand news source can deliver," said Kelley Rickenbaker, general manager of Clean Skies. "For reporters working against tight deadlines and with limited resources, Clean Skies News' platform makes it effortless to access the latest energy news and newsmakers."

Clean Skies celebrated the re-launch with an open house at its Capitol Hill studio today. The event, which brought together Washington, D.C., thought leaders and newsmakers, pulled back the "green curtain," allowing guests to see firsthand the production and editorial processes of the Clean Skies newsroom. Guests included: Representative Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD); Branko Terzic, former Federal Energy Regulatory Commission commissioner; Dr. Joseph Romm, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, and editor of Climate Progress; and Miles Grant, a contributor to Grist.org, among others. View coverage of the re-launch event at CleanSkies.com.

Clean Skies News is an independent, online news organization staffed by professional journalists from premiere print and broadcast news organizations around the country. Clean Skies News is a debate-shaping clearinghouse of energy information, bringing together the nation's leading energy and environment newsmakers. For more information, visit www.cleanskies.com.
