JOB DESCRIPTION
Position Overview
We are seeking a Staff Writer to contribute to our enterprise coverage. We’re looking for someone with stellar news judgment, a passion for storytelling, a drive to develop their craft, and a deep commitment to provocative journalism.
The reporter will pitch, report, and write stories on topics at the intersection of the environment, climate, policy, and social justice. The right person for this job will be interested in approaching this beat from a narrative lens, producing rich stories that demonstrate how climate change is reshaping communities, economies, and ecosystems. We’re also looking for someone who is always mindful of equity issues that are often at the root of human-based climate stories. A reporter who can reflect on trends in climate change policies, economics, culture, and science would thrive on this beat.
What does this role look like in practice? You’ll generally write 4 to 5 stories per month — ranging from roughly 600 words to a few thousand — and land a handful of enterprise projects per year. Grist is a small team, so you may also be asked to contribute to newsletters, collaborate on larger projects, appear in the occasional video, and represent Grist at conferences and workshops.
Grist is based in Seattle, but the job doesn’t have to be. We have staff around the country. This position is represented by Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild Local 37082 (“Grist NewsGuild”).
