E&E News seeks natural resources editor

E&E News — the country’s top energy and environment newsroom — is looking for an experienced journalist to lead our natural resources team, one of the newsroom’s most important and active teams.

The job: The natural resources editor will lead a team of roughly 10 reporters and coordinate with other editors on coverage and story placement. You’ll help shepherd stories from conception to publication, support reporters in their work and help make their work better — more thorough, accurate and well-written. You’ll punch up headlines and choose appropriate photos and manage multi-reporter projects.

Is this for you? We’re looking for an active editor — someone who generates story ideas, helps reporters shape stories, find sources and develop their beats. You should be plugged into the news to make sure we’re catching everything that our competition does — typical and otherwise — on a daily basis. You should have the story writing skills to help shape features and lead special projects. The ideal team leader would be someone who is either a natural leader or has developed the skills to take charge of a group and inspire them to do their best work.

About us: Working from a newsroom near the Capitol and from bureaus across the country, our 65 reporters and editors produce five online publications – Climatewire, Energywire, E&E Daily, Greenwire and E&E News PM. Our readers pay a lot for our work and we deliver it in crisp newspaper-style prose. We offer a competitive salary; medical and dental insurance; flexible spending accounts and commuter benefits; a 401(K) match program; paid vacation; and paid family leave. Our company values creativity, curiosity, hard work, and work-life balance. E&E News is committed to increasing our staff diversity. Individuals who want to work here are considered without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, gender identity or sexual orientation.

To apply: Email your cover letter explaining why you’d be a good fit for this job and your resume to editorialjobs@eenews.net Offer a few story ideas and/or show us some work you’ve written or edited on natural resources or related beats. Please write “resources editor” in the subject line.
