Our newsroom is growing! We’re looking for a talented Climate & Environment News Editor who is passionate about journalism and understands how climate intertwines with other issues in the Pacific Northwest. We’re seeking someone who can discern what elements will make a news story engaging. The Climate & Environment Editor supervises two reporters and serves as part of the leadership team for our newsroom of approximately 40 reporters, editors, producers and hosts. They also work closely with other content teams to ensure the news reflects its importance in our region. We use a collaborative process between our editors and reporters in which editors coach journalists through new projects, build beats and stories in partnership and support their growth and development.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is knowledgeable about the climate and environment and wants to build a team to cover this beat. If this sounds like you, we urge you to apply!
