Environment Reporter

If you’re a journalist inspired to follow stories about the impact of climate change and what California is doing to try to slow its effects, then you may be the next environment reporter at CalMatters — an award-winning and influential nonprofit, multimedia news venture focused on covering the cutting-edge state of California. The state has long been a global leader on climate policy, making this position a tremendous opportunity for an experienced, passionate environmental journalist. The beat will focus on what the state is doing, how it is working and what difference it is making for California and beyond. It means tracking regulations, mastering the political context, analyzing data, and doing field reporting to understand and communicate to a broad audience what’s happening and why it matters to them. We’re seeking someone who is committed to holding state policymakers accountable, as they struggle to address what our former governor famously termed “an existential crisis.”
