Edited by David I. Leavitt and Cy Zaneski, Greenwire is an online daily news service that provides coverage of environmental and energy politics, policy and markets.
Greenwire was founded in 1991 by former New York Times reporter Phil Shabecoff and was originally published by the American Political Network (APN), a company that also produced the on-line political daily Hotline.
APN was purchased by National Journal in 1995, and Greenwire was subsequently sold in 2000 to Environment & Energy Publishing, LLC, the parent company of Environment & Energy Daily, another online daily publication that focuses on the United States Congress.
Greenwire initially provided "coverage of the coverage" reporting; the Greenwire staff would review hundreds of newspapers every day and synthesize the day's environmental news into 20 or so stories that were sent out to paying subscribers.
In 2000, E&E Publishing expanded the Greenwire mission, adding original reporting to the coverage-of-the-coverage model and including energy issues as part of Greenwire's editorial scope.
Today, Greenwire is the leading subscriber-based on-line publication covering energy and environmental issues. Greenwire's 25 reporters and editors write about everything from Clean Air Act litigation to alternative energy technologies.
Greenwire's readership includes the U.S. Congress, the White House, federal agencies, law firms, major corporations, foreign governments, environmental organizations, universities and other institutions.
Greenwire staffers regularly appear on PBS's NewsHour, C-SPAN and NPR, and its news-breaking reporting is frequently cited by the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, AP and other mass-media organizations.
Greenwire's parent company, E&E Publishing, also produces a daily Web-based TV program featuring interviews with key people involved with energy and environmental policy and markets.
