Sarah Topalian Davies | PR Professional | Director of Media and Communications at EARTHDAY.org

I am the Director of Communications for EARTHDAY.ORG, EDO, the organization created by the founders of Earth Day itself back in 1970, Gaylord Nelson and Denis Hayes (Denis is still on our Board and a principal advisor to EDO).

Before joining EDO I was a journalist for 25 years at the BBC, based in the UK, working across news , current affairs, economics, political reporting and documentary working on Newsnight, Panorama and The Money Programme, BBC's flagship current arrairs series.

In my last eight years at the BBC I headed development (acorss all unscripted genres) for BBC Wales and then led history development at the BBC (based in London), heping to manage a Joint Venture with Discovery Communications. From 2011 I left to work for Disocvery directly, working in the US entertainment industry both in DC, NYC and LA, as the VP of Production and Development for Warner Discovery in unscripted commissioning.

I then led development (for 7 years) as the SVP at the leading LA based production company, INE before joining EDO in 2023.

I am always happy to help suggest experts/resources/quotes for articles that touch on any aspect of the media, the environment (be it human health, biodiversity loss, renewable energy, green skilling, activism, climate education). And of course can share insight into Earth Day, hiow it started, its achievements and more.
