Media
Over the years, Lifeline Energy has received print and electronic media coverage from a wide spectrum of sources. Some journalists wanted to report on our products, others our work and others on our founder and CEO, Kristine Pearson.
We invite you to explore our Media section, to read articles written about us, check out our press releases and to watch videos about our work. Some videos we’ve made and are snapshots of visits to the field and others have been created by major international news organisations. Note that some of the older media refers to us as the Freeplay Foundation, as that’s the name we were known as prior to 2010 when we changed our name and identity to Lifeline Energy.
If you’re a journalist and would like more information, please email us at hello@lifelineenergy.org.
