Vox energy reporter Roberts leaves to start a newsletter

David Roberts

Vox energy and climate change reporter David Roberts has left the website to start a newsletter.

Friday was his last day.

“It’s time for me to be my own boss, pursue my own weird obsessions, and best of all, build a community of people who share those obsessions,” he wrote on Twitter.

His work has been featured in The Chicago Tribune, Reuters and The Atlantic and he has made appearances on CNN and the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.

Before moving to Vox in 2015, he wrote for Grist.org on the same subjects for 10 years.
