History
Posted on October 25, 2007, Revkin's first entry on Dot Earth was on "Cutting Greenhouse Gases for Cash Prizes". In April 2010, "after 940 posts as a news blog", The New York Times moved Dot Earth to the "opinion side" of its online site. This decision accompanied Revkin's move from a fulltime position to that of a freelancer, with the move being done to make clear the line between the two categories.[2][3] After 9 years and 2,810 posts, Revkin ended the blog on 5 December 2016, just before he began work as a senior reporter for ProPublica.[4]
