Border Climate Change Reporter

Are you interested in how climate change is affecting communities, and in exploring solutions to those challenges? If so, let's talk. El Paso Matters covers a binational area on the U.S.-Mexico border that includes both large urban centers and rural communities that are facing significant climate change impacts, particularly around heat and water. We are seeking a journalist with a passion for telling complex climate stories in a way that allows communities to understand the issues and work toward mitigation and solutions. 

The job: Develop sources that will help tell the story of climate change impact on the U.S.-Mexico borders. This includes community-based sources on both sides of the border; non-governmental organizations; and policymakers at the local, state and national levels in both the United States and Mexico. Our climate change reporter will leave a strong source list. Develop stories, using a variety of approaches, that show our audience the impacts of climate change, and possible mitigation and solution approaches. This includes use of data and data visualizations. Work with editors and reporters on other beats to develop collaborations that involve climate change issues.
