Staff Writer, Indigenous Affairs

Grist is seeking a Staff Writer to join our Indigenous Affairs team. We’re looking for someone with stellar news judgment, a passion for narrative storytelling, a drive to develop their craft, and a deep commitment to Indigenous journalism. The writer will pitch, report, and write stories on the connections between Indigenous communities and the environment, the impacts of climate change, and policy, including everything from foodways to treaty law, #LandBack to UNDRIP. The right person for this job will have a deep background covering Indigenous communities with an interest in approaching the beat with an accountability lens – though they should also be comfortable writing with an eye toward solutions. We’re looking for someone whose stories reveal the unique relationships Indigenous people have with the world, and climate change, while recognizing the difference between journalism and anthropology.
