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.

Recognition

Our work has earned recognition and awards at leading environmental film festivals, including:

Environmental Film Festival at Yale (EFFY, 2016)
Banff Mountain Film Festival (2015)
San Francisco Green Film Festival (2016)
Wild & Scenic Film Festival (2016)

Our Mission

We exist to give voice to the voiceless—wildlife, ecosystems, and communities—and to inspire change through journalism that’s as truthful as it is transformative. By telling the stories that matter most, we help bridge the gap between knowledge and action.
