Kim Kyeong-pil
Kim Kyeong-pil tracks how government decisions, energy markets and corporate behavior translate into real-world pressures on the environment and public life. Environment is the anchor of his beat, but he approaches it through the lenses of national policy, resource security and the economic incentives that shape official responses to climate and weather shocks.
Government policy and emergency response
Kim’s coverage of government crisis management shows how political leaders handle environmental stress, such as extreme heatwaves and their impact on infrastructure and public safety. He reports on emergency measures ordered by national leaders, focusing on what ministries are asked to do, how quickly systems respond and where gaps in preparedness become visible.
In related work, he has covered a joint government audit into the relocation of the presidential office to Yongsan and its role in the 2022 Halloween disaster, treating institutional decisions and their consequences as central to his reporting. His pieces on ministerial misconduct and subsequent official apologies highlight how administrative culture affects the credibility of public responses when citizens are relying on the state during environmental and social crises.
He brings the same scrutiny to cabinet nominations, documenting how a gender equality minister nominee was forced to step down amid public and political pressure.
Energy, resources and economic policy
Energy security and resource policy are recurring threads in Kim’s work, often tied directly to environmental risk and the politics of transition.
He has reported on talks between South Korea and Tajikistan to expand cooperation on minerals and artificial intelligence, a story that links critical resource supply chains to strategic technology and future industrial policy. In another piece, he covers President Lee Jae-myung’s assurances about keeping oil prices stable, treating fossil fuel costs as both an economic and political constraint.
These stories sit alongside his reporting in the market and money sections of The Chosun Daily, where he writes about corporate bonuses paid out by NEC despite a “basket ballot” scandal and the climb of SpaceX into the top tier of global market capitalizations. Even when the subject is corporate governance or technology valuations, he foregrounds the public stakes - how business decisions and market dynamics feed back into policy debates on energy, industrial competitiveness and, by extension, environmental impact.
Political accountability and leadership
Kim’s political coverage focuses on accountability, with environmental and economic consequences never far from view. His author page at The Chosun Daily shows him reporting in depth on investigations into high-level decisions, including the presidential office move and its link to a deadly crowd disaster, treating the case as a test of how far scrutiny of the executive will reach. He has broken down data on high-ranking officials’ apartment holdings in regulated zones, revealing that a large share of those properties are located in areas subject to special controls, a story that goes to the heart of how policy is designed and who benefits from it. At an affiliated outlet, his byline appears on coverage of President Lee’s first drop in approval ratings since taking office, framing leadership standing in terms of public reaction to policy outcomes rather than campaign rhetoric. Across these pieces, the through-line is clear: he uses numbers, official documents and interviews to connect individual decisions - whether in real estate, personnel or national strategy - to broader questions of trust, fairness and regulatory integrity.
Cross-section reporting across national and North Korea desks
Kim works across several desks at The Chosun Daily, with his name appearing in the English-language national section, coverage related to North Korea, and market and money pages. This cross-section role shapes how he writes on environmental and energy subjects, situating them within security concerns, inter-Korean dynamics and global markets rather than treating them as isolated science or lifestyle stories. His national reporting provides the policy and political frame, his economic pieces supply the market and corporate context, and his North Korea contributions bring in strategic and security dimensions. The result is coverage that treats environment, energy and governance as part of the same system, with each story showing how decisions in one arena ripple out through others.

Adam Fulton
Adam Fulton is a digital news producer focused on fast-moving global stories where environment, conflict and politics meet. He works on the Guardian’s Australian operation, using rolling live blogs to cover geopolitical crises, climate-linked disasters and wars with clear structure and context. His Middle East coverage, including the Gaza peace plan, tracks tension between political messaging and on-the-ground realities, tying leaders’ statements to military movements, diplomatic reactions and humanitarian reports. His disaster reporting, such as on Nepal–Tibet floods, links rising tolls and missing people to infrastructure damage, rescue strain and cascading environmental threats. His Ukraine war blogs treat resource scarcity, especially water and energy, as strategic factors and track how infrastructure damage shapes the conflict. A former entertainment and arts reporter and senior editor at major Australian newspapers, he applies careful pacing and narrative arcs to collaborative, time-stamped live coverage.
Alec Luhn
Alec Luhn is an environment reporter whose work follows climate change at its extremes, frontiers and human consequences, often reporting directly from places where warming, instability and displacement intersect. He covers climate, conflict and migration, showing how abstract climate trends turn into risks for communities, infrastructure, health and preparedness. He reports for New Scientist on climate breakdown, extreme events, El Niño, limits of models, melting glaciers, warming seas and adaptation to heat, mixing scientific explanation with lived experience. A defining strand of his work is reporting from remote icy and mountainous regions on Arctic sea ice loss, permafrost, polar bears, pollution and fragile ecosystems. He has a long record on conflict and security, including the Skripal poisoning case. His reporting appears in New Scientist and major international outlets, with work across print, digital, audio and television and recognition from climate and journalism awards.
