The fellowship is funded by the Virginia Spencer Davis fund and designed for early-career journalists interested in reporting on rural communities in the West, and how those communities are changing. It will provide on-the-ground reporting opportunities and a chance to dive deep into important stories, as well as professional mentorship and career development.

Candidates will bring curiosity, fair-mindedness and a desire to share stories from and for rural communities.

The fellowship will run from Monday, July 10, 2023 through Friday, June 28, 2024 and includes coaching and instruction from across HCN's editorial and art departments. Fellows will produce reported stories, analysis, essays and/or other types of projects.

High Country News is part of a growing number of newsrooms addressing a historic lack of representation, inclusion and equity in journalism with effective solutions. We welcome applicants from all life experiences and encourage members of traditionally underrepresented backgrounds to apply, including Indigenous people, people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ people and those from marginalized and low-income backgrounds.

Duties/Outcomes will include:
The fellowship is an opportunity for a journalist to deepen their knowledge of and expertise on rural communities in the Western U.S., including, but not limited to agriculture, food systems and rural land conservation.

The fellow will aim to publish approximately 24 bylined stories over the course of the fellowship; these will include a mix of news/fast-moving short-form content as well as more in-depth enterprising work for the magazine. The fellowship may also include a major capstone project, such as a reported feature, multimedia story or other in-depth piece.

Fellows will contribute to the editorial vision and success of the magazine by collaborating with other journalists, joining regular departmental meetings and sharing subject matter expertise. The fellow typically:

• Writes news, analysis and other in-depth reporting focused on or relevant to rural communities in the Western U.S.
• Prioritizes reporting and writing for HCN online, though some stories will also run in print. The position requires the on-time submission of approximately two stories per month, typically between 500 and 2,000 words.
• Provides consistent support to the assigned desk, including attending and participating in editorial meetings, review of story pitches, cultural competency reviews and administrative tasks as assigned.
• Contributes to the editorial vision and success of the magazine through meetings, discussions and public appearances.

Skills and experience:
Candidates should have the ability to create thoughtful, even-handed journalism for digital or print audiences, and insights into the West's rural communities. We're looking for enthusiastic, committed early-career journalists with at least two years of professional writing (or equivalent) experience; we understand that lived experience can be as or more valuable than professional experience. Candidates should have the ability to work as a member of a dispersed, diverse editorial team and to contribute to the cultural competence of the organization. Applicants should be versed in the foundational principles of reporting and producing insightful, fair-minded stories consistently on deadline.

Most importantly, they should demonstrate a passion for creating journalism for diverse audiences that deepens readers' understanding of the West's natural and human communities.

HCN is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit whose mission is to inform and inspire people to act on behalf of the West's diverse natural and human communities.

This fellowship is named for Virginia ("Ginny") Spencer Davis, who grew up on a ranch in the Sacramento Valley in California, and never forgot her rural roots. She and her husband, Dick, were actively involved in the local land trust, and she helped research Farming on the Edge, a book about saving family farms. She facilitated publication of Storm Over Mono, which chronicles the successful battle to protect the extraordinary Mono Lake ecosystem. Ginny also believed passionately in the importance of education, and created scholarship programs that helped over 70 young people go to college.

Company Description

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”).

The Boston Globe is looking for an experienced, ambitious reporter to cover one of the defining challenges facing our region: Housing and the cost of living here.

Greater Boston is one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, with home prices and rents that warp so much of life here, from commutes, to schools, to where people choose to live and work, to whether they stay in our region at all. We’re looking for someone to dig into all of that, to explore why housing costs so much here and what it means, and to cover the debate over what we might do about it.

This is a wide-ranging, high-velocity beat, and we need a versatile reporter who can deliver both quick hits for the website and deep dives for the Sunday front page, who’s as comfortable interviewing struggling renters as they are with explaining policy arcana, and who has an eye for the many many ways housing influences the way we live.

You’ll be part of our Business team, working with a crew of experienced real estate journalists, but you’ll also ply the State House, City Hall, and suburban town meetings. You’ll know sometimes a chart is worth 1,000 words. And if you’ve experimented with new approaches to storytelling, we’d love to hear about it.

Qualifications: 

• Three to five years experience at a major market publication.
• Experience covering housing or real estate is helpful but not essential.
• A reasonable comfort level with data and mapping (we have pros to make the maps and charts but would love someone who can spot good stories in them).
• A mindset that puts our readers first and always asks why a story matters to them.
• A collegial spirit and collaborative approach to journalism
• A willingness to adapt and be audience focused, with a curious mindset and a commitment to creating an inclusive work environment 

This position is a union position covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the Boston Newspaper Guild
