Grist is seeking a Climate News Fellow to join our Editorial team. This fellowship runs March 3, 2024-February 28, 2025.
With the mentorship and support of Grist’s editorial staff, the Climate News Fellow will be expected to write quick takes on the news, newsletter items, and more in-depth reported stories. You’ll help chronicle the progress being made to tackle the climate crisis, whether it’s coming from scientific laboratories, peer-reviewed journals, the halls of Congress, or companies and corporations.
The annual base pay for this position is $55,000.00. Grist is based in Seattle, but this 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”).
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
QUALIFICATIONS:
The mission of the Grist fellowship program is to help underrepresented, early-career climate journalists gain a stronger foothold in our industry. Our definition of “early-career” includes but is not limited to: journalists who are relatively new to the environmental/climate beat, freelancers who have not had full-time newsroom experience, recent journalism school graduates, and scientists without traditional journalism training but with strong writing clips and content knowledge.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT:
THE GRIST FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
Our larger fellowship program aims to provide a formative experience in a geographically distributed yet tight-knit newsroom through dedicated editing and professional development for early-career journalists. We encourage fellows’ full participation in staff discussions and meetings and seek their input on issues large and small.
Fellows can be based anywhere in the United States. Global health conditions permitting, they may work out of Grist’s Seattle office or New York co-working space. Many fellows who work remotely will be encouraged to report on stories in their home community that have national relevance.
