The San Diego Union-Tribune is looking for a business reporter to cover energy.
This is a premier beat in Southern California with an opportunity to cover Sempra – a Fortune 500 company – and utilities, such as SDG&E. The beat includes a range of energy topics, including wind, solar, biofuels, nuclear power (San Onofre), desal plants, government policy.

We work digitally, in print and video.
