Grist is a nonprofit, independent media organization dedicated to highlighting climate solutions and uncovering environmental injustices. Since 1999, we have engaged and informed the public about the perils of the most existential threat we face. Now that three-quarters of Americans recognize that climate change is happening, we’ve shifted our focus in part to demonstrate the... ways that a just and sustainable future is within reach.
Over the past four years, Grist has scaled from a Seattle-based team of 20-25 to a nationally distributed organization of ~60 with a growing budget. Grist’s strategy centers on climate, justice, and solutions, and we implement our mission through two areas of work: Our award-winning editorial program and our work to transform talent and representation within environmental storytelling.
Job Description
Position Overview
Grist, in partnership with Chicago Public Media, is seeking an experienced journalist to help cover energy, the natural environment, and the impact of global climate change on the greater Chicago area and region. The ideal candidate will have a deep interest in energy, climate and regional environmental issues and will be able to find the narratives that make those issues relevant to people.
This position will explore the environmental and societal impacts of climate change as they affect Chicago and parts of the Midwest, with special attention paid to how these forces affect natural habitats and ecosystems, the health and welfare of people (especially communities of color and low-income communities), and the future quality of life in our region. The reporter will be expected to closely follow developments in the fields of energy, the environment and climate science on a local, state, national and global basis, and to look for their regional implications. They will also be encouraged to make big picture connections, placing the regional story within the larger context of an ongoing global concern.
For this position, we are partnering with Chicago Public Media, one of the largest and most respected public media organizations in the country, home to WBEZ radio, the Chicago Sun-Times and Vocalo. CPM provides substantive news and insights, thoughtful conversation and meaningful connections to its diverse audiences throughout the Chicago area, as well as nationally and globally. This reporter will be a Grist employee who works daily with CPM staff, with support from Grist editors.
Together, we are looking for someone who loves storytelling and is curious to explore the wonders, challenges and complexities of our regional environment. This reporter will bring a human-centered approach to their work, utilizing creative approaches to reporting and storytelling that seek to make the complex understandable.
The ideal candidate will also bring a “solutions lens” to their work, helping individuals understand what role they can play in counteracting the effects of climate change. They will bring a clarifying and challenging lens to larger policy initiatives, both governmental and economic. They will have an awareness of the disproportionate impact such policies can have on environmental racism and justice. They will examine innovative approaches to sustainability from the private, public and non-profit centers, and look beyond Chicago to other cities in the U.S. and abroad for learnings and comparative possibilities.
The annual base pay for this position is between $60,000 and $70,000 depending on experience. This position is represented by Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild Local 37082 (“Grist NewsGuild”).

You’ll be based at Interlochen Public Radio, near Lake Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay. We’re looking for someone who can understand and explain the importance of the Upper Great Lakes to regional, national, and global ecosystems. This is a place where vast forests and sweeping sand dunes converge with one of the world’s largest sources of freshwater. You’ll pay attention to pressing issues like the future of the controversial Line 5 pipeline, how agriculture intersects with environmental concerns, and the impact of climate change on the surrounding region and its people.
We want the focus here to be on solutions: How are people working to address problems? Can those solutions be scaled up to statewide or national levels? What are the drawbacks? This reporter should be comfortable covering local impacts of climate change, but also expanding those stories to have regional, statewide, or even national significance.
Through Grist’s partnership with Interlochen Public Radio, you’ll file everything from daily news stories to features and other enterprise reporting. You’ll also get to work with the award-winning Points North podcast team. We want your work to be heard and read widely, so you’ll also be encouraged to pitch features to NPR for national broadcast, and share with listeners statewide through the Michigan Public Radio Network.
Radio experience is a plus, but not a requirement.
The annual base pay for this position is between $50,000 and $58,000 depending on experience. This role is a year-long position piloting a partnership between Grist and Interlochen, and is made possible by grants from The Stolte Family Foundation. This position is represented by Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild Local 37082 (“Grist NewsGuild”).
