The Bismarck Tribune, the newspaper in the capital city of North Dakota, has an exciting job opportunity for a full-time energy and business reporter.
The state has a unique mix of energy, and many North Dakota energy stories have drawn national attention, such as the Dakota Access Pipeline protests, energy development near Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the proposed Summit Carbon Solutions regional carbon dioxide pipeline.
The successful candidate will cover developments in the Bakken oil fields; coal, with North Dakota home to the single-largest deposit of lignite in the world; and wind energy, in which North Dakota is a leading state. Emerging areas of interest are carbon capture and sequestration technology, biofuels, and rare earths/critical minerals.
The beat also includes coverage of business in the Bismarck metro area and also the state. Bismarck is a medical hub for the region, with two competing hospital systems, and North Dakota is an emerging hot spot for cryptocurrency data centers.
The Bismarck Tribune is an award-winning newspaper that takes pride in being a leader in energy coverage and is not afraid to take on complex projects. We prefer candidates with previous reporting experience but will consider strong recent graduates. The job is 40 hours a week with occasional night and weekend work required.
The position is based in Bismarck, the state’s second-largest city. Bismarck and neighboring Mandan are along the Missouri River with miles of trails for outdoor recreation along with a growing food and culture scene. The region also offers prime hunting and fishing opportunities and is an easy drive to a national park. Bismarck-Mandan is a fun place to live and work with the amenities of a big city without the traffic and high cost of living.
