Climate Reporter

The Boston Globe is hiring a reporter to cover the climate crisis. This reporter will be part of the Globe’s mission-driven ”Into the Red” climate team, producing human-centered and accountability stories that drive public conversations in our city and region.The reporter will be responsible for rich, original enterprise that casts the crisis as a matter of urgent public interest and helps illuminate paths toward solutions. The job will put a premium on quick and original thinking, curiosity, and drive to make an impact. Experience covering the climate, while valuable, is not necessary. Successful candidates will have demonstrated abilities with storytelling, data, and accountability reporting. A core mission of Into the Red is to act as watchdog to public and private leaders/interests responsible for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Bringing light to problems including the unequal impact on neighborhoods and communities is another. In every instance, this reporter will find ways to extract from the vast and diffuse nature of the climate crisis stories that feel fresh and immediate, and that resonate with a broad audience.
