Grist.org seeks an enterprising, sharp-witted, D.C.-based reporter to track and break environmental news in the political and policy arenas. We are seeking to hire an outstanding candidate as soon as possible.

Job description:

Grist’s political reporter will combine the best of the old and new media. From the old media: a dedication to accuracy, double-checking facts, and good old-fashioned shoe-leather tenacity. From the new media: a strong voice and perspective, a willingness to buck conventional wisdom, an aptitude with multimedia formats, and a wizardly mastery of internet data mining. We want to break news and make noise; this reporter’s byline will be out in front of that effort.

Grist thanks its sponsors. Become one.
