Job description

The Climate Desk at the New York Times is looking for a high-energy and collaborative journalist to join the team of reporters covering climate and environmental policy and politics.

Climate policy has swung wildly in Washington over the last few years, and we're looking for a reporter who can help readers understand what's happening and why. We want to dig into what's different, who's influencing policymakers and who's benefiting from the shifts and how changing government rules and regulations play out around the country. Our team has a broad mandate for big stories on everything from the National Park Service to the Environmental Protection Agency, from the growth of nuclear power to the Trump administration's war on wind.

You should have a track record of scoops and reporting that has helped to shape the national conversation. You should have a body of work that shows creativity, deep sourcing, broad curiosity, an eye for news and a command of complex ideas.

You should also be a fluid writer who can step back, connect the dots and tell the larger story in compelling ways.

This is an in-office position, based in Washington, D.C. and includes regular attendance in the office four days each week. There may be some flexibility to work remotely per your departmental guidance.

Responsibilities:

  • Break news on climate and environmental policy, focusing on the E.P.A., the Interior and Energy departments and Congress.

  • Pitch, report and write news and surprising enterprise on climate and environmental policy and politics.

  • Think visually about the most compelling ways to present stories.

  • Contribute to live coverage on breaking news stories.

  • Help readers understand the impact of regulations and the political forces at play.

  • Collaborate with other reporters on news and enterprise.

  • Deliver fast, clean copy in accessible style on complicated topics.

  • Ensure accuracy and clarity.

  • Work collaboratively with members of a multidisciplinary team.

  • Meet tight deadlines and be able to thrive in a daily, unpredictable news environment.

  • Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.

  • This role reports to the Deputy Editor, Climate.

Basic Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience working for a daily news organization

  • 3+ years of demonstrated beat authority

  • A portfolio that demonstrates you are well-versed in current policy, and have a growing circle of expert sources among researchers, policymakers, analysts, public interest groups and lawmakers

  • A portfolio that includes news, enterprise and analysis

  • Crisp, clear, writing skills that also demonstrate a mastery of journalistic style and standards

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Facility with visual and alternative forms of storytelling

  • 8+ years of experience working for a daily news organization

This position is represented by the NewsGuild of NY.
