Who We Are
Founded by award-winning journalists Ted Wood and Daniel Glick, each with over 25 years of experience in leading national media outlets such as Newsweek, National Geographic, The New York Times Magazine, and NPR, The Story Group brings deep reporting experience and visual storytelling expertise to the most pressing environmental issues of our time.
What We Do
From short and feature-length documentaries to interactive web stories, infographics, and photo projects, our work captures the urgency and complexity of:
- Climate change and its human impact
- Wildlife and ecosystem protection
- Grassroots conservation initiatives
- Voices from frontline communities
Our storytelling is driven by a commitment to ethical journalism and the belief that powerful, fact-based narratives can shape perception and inspire real-world action.
Why It Matters
Environmental issues aren’t abstract—they affect communities, cultures, and species every day. By lifting up the stories of those most at risk and often least heard, we work to shift how these challenges are seen and understood in the United States and beyond.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we operate under the umbrella of Conservation Ink, which enables us to secure grants and donor support that fuel our independent reporting.

- Environmental Film Festival at Yale (EFFY, 2016)
- Banff Mountain Film Festival (2015)
