Wall Street Journal seeks energy reporter

The Wall Street Journal seeks an enterprising reporter to cover natural gas, coal and power markets.

The beat involves tracing the U.S. shale boom as it ripples through commodity markets. The reporter will be responsible for finding ways to tell that story through energy markets, whether it’s uncovering the latest hedge fund to fall victim to a “widow maker” bet on natural gas or explaining to readers the market forces behind why their power bill is about to spike.

The ideal candidate will be a strong writer and take a creative approach to the beat, finding trends, features and scoops that bring to life this historic moment in energy markets.

Please attach a resume, cover letter and three to five published clips to your online application. Please attach a resume, cover letter and three to five published clips to your online application.
