'''E&E News''' is an American news organization that covers [[Energy policy|energy]], [[environmental policy]], [[climate change]], markets and science. As of 2020, the organization has more than 65 reporters and editors across 10 cities. It was acquired by ''[[Politico]]'' in December 2020.
Environment and Energy Publishing is a multi-service online publication that covers environmental and energy politics and policy. E&E was founded on October 1, 1998 by Kevin Braun and Michael Witt following their purchase of ''Environment & Energy Weekly'' (''E&E Daily'''s earlier iteration) and ''Land Letter'' from the nonprofit [[Environmental and Energy Study Institute]]. Braun and Witt had managed these publications for a number of years before buying out EESI's ownership interest.


==History and publications==
''E&E Weekly'' was originally distributed in print every Monday morning inside the [[Beltway]] and by US mail to subscribers throughout the rest of the country, providing a detailed look at the legislative action surrounding all the environmental and energy bills in play on [[Capitol Hill]]. Today, it publishes several times a day online with a staff of 25 editors and reporters, and was the first online-only news organization to be accredited by both the Congressional Periodical Press Gallery and Congressional Radio-TV Gallery.
E&E is a [[Subscription business model|subscription-based news service]] with [[paywall]]s.

Publications and services that are or were part of E&E News include ''EnergyWire'' (launched in 2012), ''ClimateWire'' (launched in 2008), ''E&E Daily'', ''E&E PM'', ''OnPoint'' (a daily webcast), and ''Greenwire'' (purchased from the ''[[National Journal]]'').<ref name=nieman/> E&E formerly had a content partnership with ''[[The New York Times]]''.

As of 2014, it employed roughly 75 journalists in ten cities across the United States.<ref name=nieman>{{cite news |last1=O'Donovan |first1=Caroline |title=E&E Publishing is spending a lot of money on reporting most people won't ever see |url=https://www.niemanlab.org/2014/03/ee-publishing-is-spending-a-lot-of-money-on-reporting-most-people-wont-ever-see/ |access-date=December 18, 2014 |publisher=Nieman Journalism Lab |date=March 25, 2014}}</ref>
[[Image:daily_logo_lg.png|right]]''Environment and Energy Daily'' is E&E Publishing’s bread and butter, covering the progress of legislation as it works its way from hearings and markups, through the House and Senate floors, to the President’s desk. In-depth stories are reported objectively and in their full political context, with links to the text of bills and reports. The Monday edition is designed as a preview of the week’s pending action.


In January 2018, E&E News announced former editor-in-chief Kevin Braun would be stepping down and named Cy Zaneski as executive editor.

In July 2005, the company launched ''E&E News PM'', covering late-breaking news from Capitol Hill, including schedule changes, markup and floor vote results, and new bills and amendments. The ''Daily'' and the ''PM'', edited by Colin Sullivan from San Francisco, are posted online Monday through Friday by 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM EST, except during extended congressional recesses. Subscribers receive editions via e-mail, as well as alerts for major breaking news. E&E has also published special editions on hot topics including coal-to-liquids technology, [[tidal power]], [[new source review]], and the 2006 congressional power shift; featuring side-by-side comparisons of bills proposed to address complicated environmental problems.


In May 2018, the E&E News, along with the [[Associated Press]] and [[CNN]], was barred from a national summit on harmful water contaminants by the [[First presidency of Donald Trump|Trump administration]]'s [[EPA]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://apnews.com/d799f4e096cc42cf99ae01b02d1e0688 |title=EPA bars AP, CNN from summit on contaminants |date=May 22, 2018 |work=Associated Press News |access-date=May 22, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.axios.com/epa-summit-reporters-forcibly-barred-cnn-ap-scott-pruitt-fa9b313b-0d0a-4ea9-9087-d8ff4dffaf29.html |title=Guards "forcibly" prevent AP reporter from attending EPA summit |date=May 22, 2018 |website=[[Axios.com]] |access-date=May 22, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/22/ap-reporter-shoved-by-security-guards-outside-epa-event.html |title=Associated Press reporter: I was shoved by security guards outside an event featuring embattled EPA chief Scott Pruitt |agency=Associated Press |via=[[CNBC.com]] |date=May 22, 2018 |access-date=May 22, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/pruitt-bars-media-epa-summit-contaminants-guards-push-reporter-out-n876396 |title=Pruitt bars AP, CNN from EPA summit on contaminants, guards push reporter out of building |agency=Associated Press |via=[[NBCNews.com]] |date=May 22, 2018 |access-date=May 22, 2018}}</ref>

APN was purchased by [[National Journal]] in 1995. ''Greenwire'' initially provided "coverage of the coverage" reporting: the 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. For a period of time it was edited by [[Chip Giller]], who now runs the humorous and pro-environment site [[Grist]].
