Swimming with sharks may not be everyone's idea of a good time, but it fits nicely with Washington Post national environmental reporter Juliet Eilperin's work on her next book.

She offers her perspectives on the environment and journalism in this video made during her visit to Moscow March 9, 2009.

Eilperin's visit was sponsored by the University of Idaho School of Journalism and Mass Media, Idaho Humanities Council and Association for Communications Excellence in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Life and Human Sciences.
