The Daily Herald is strengthening local climate coverage through a partnership with Report for America.
Editor John Lampinen said:
“We intend to cover climate as local news. That means covering all the things that are or will take place — all the ways our lives will be affected by climate change, but also all the ways our lives will be affected by the responses meant to mitigate that change. We intend to cover it the way we try to cover all types of news — big picture and local focus, the large stories and the small ones.
“The stories will include basics such as where you can find electric charging stations in the suburbs, analysis of the quality of your drinking water, and the broad sweep of how the Chicago area might look in 10, 50, 100 years. And much more.”
Applications for the Daily Herald’s climate reporter and other Report for America-sponsored positions are now open at reportforamerica.org/reporters.
Deadline to apply – Jan. 31.
However, candidates applying before Dec. 31 will receive early consideration.
Reporters will become employees of their host newsrooms and are expected to begin their positions in June.
