Energy Reporter (Oil and Gas), E&E News

POLITICO’s E&E News is seeking a creative and enterprising reporter to own a beat that’s central to the national and global conversation around the economy and climate change: the oil and gas industry. The reporter on this beat will chronicle a space long known for gigantic egos and outsize profits -- and one that now faces deeply consequential challenges tied to the future of the planet. You’ll track Big Oil’s environmental record, the industry’s attempts to cut emissions and the political and global ramifications of the Biden administration’s energy policies. You’ll cover the financial, political, energy and environmental realities of the industry -- every facet of the beat. You’ll have opportunities to travel and dig into investigative pieces. To be sure, we want scoops and quick-turn daily stories. But we’re also looking for big-picture features that provide perspective for our well-connected audience.
