The reporter/correspondent will also cover the business of energy, from alternative fuels to the shale revolution that has brought the world’s most powerful cartel, OPEC, to its knees. These developments are exciting, challenging and potentially ominous. We’re looking for a reporter who can dig in and explain futuristic experiments and expose old-school greed. Stories can be as small as a joy ride or as complex as the global fight to control the Arctic.
The ideal candidate will have strong ideas and the ability to convey them with powerful storytelling. The candidate will also have a record of aggressive reporting, strong analytical skills and a desire to dig and investigate.
