Bloomberg Government seeks energy reporter in DC

Bloomberg Government is looking for a reporter to cover energy in Washington.

If you can break news, spot trends, profile newsmakers, break more news and write with speed and polish then this is the perfect opportunity for you. You will be working on a team of three that both feeds a breaking news wire, and also produces and writes a daily newsletter aimed at lobbyists, Hill staffers and federal officials in Washington.

We’ll trust you to:

Develop sources on your beat
Have contacts on K Street and Capitol Hill
Find scoops and spot trends
Juggle a variety of tasks and issues, always be thinking about both being quick — and then following up to tell readers what it all means

You’ll need to have:

Strong writing skills
A bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
Experience covering energy issues, preferably in Washington
Ability to juggle different topics and tasks, and work quickly and fluently
Desire to jump on breaking news
Creativity to supply charts, quotes or profiles for the newsletter
