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 is looking for an Upper Great Lakes reporter to cover climate impacts, environmental health, and solutions to the climate crisis, primarily for a local and regional audience.

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”).

Applicants must submit a resume and cover letter explaining why you’re a great fit for this position. Applications without both a resume and cover letter will not be considered.

Date Posted: February 13, 2023
Industry: Nonprofit news site
Job Status: Full-time; highly competitive salary and benefits
Website: newbedfordlight.org

The new Editor-in-Chief of the New Bedford Light will take the helm of one of the country’s most successful recent nonprofit news startups. Two years ago, The Light was a gleam in the eye of a group of concerned citizens worried that this vibrant city of 101,000 was in the middle of a news desert. Local journalism had all but vanished. Residents had almost nowhere to turn to learn what government agencies were doing. There was no one to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. Civic engagement was in a downward spiral. No more: The Light, which published its first article in June 2021 with one editor and two freelancers, now has a newsroom of three editors and eight staff reporters. Having raised $2.4 million to date, we have a 2023 budget of $1.7 million, a donor base that already exceeds 1,000 people and a lengthening string of investigative and enterprise stories that have injected new life – and an appreciation for the importance of watchdog journalism – into one of America’s most storied cities. 

And our nonpartisan journalism is free to our readers. There is no paywall, thanks to the outpouring of financial support from our readers, our major donors, and corporate sponsors. 

The time is now for an Editor-in-Chief to steer The Light’s talented staff to the next level of excellence, producing on-the-ground enterprise reporting on issues that matter to our readers.

The community
New Bedford is a city of 101,000 people that sits at a crossroads – beset by socioeconomic challenges, but opportunities as well. It is the largest fishing port in North America, a growing center for the nascent wind industry. And soon New Bedford will have a commuter rail link to Boston. 

The city has been a melting pot since the 18th and 19th Centuries, a dazzling seaside gem that back then was the wealthiest city in the country because of its whaling industry dominance. Today, it has among the largest Portuguese and Cape Verdean communities in the United States, and a burgeoning Latino population that now approaches 20+ percent of New Bedford’s residents. 

The Light
The Light’s much anticipated debut in the midst of the pandemic was chronicled by the New York Times, the Boston Globe and other news organizations. And, by any measure, we have exceeded expectations and will continue to do so. We do not cover breaking crime news, or high school sports. We do not do clickbait journalism. Instead, we prioritize in-depth investigative and explanatory journalism that makes a difference. We measure our value based on the impact we have. Our stories are not just stories. They are time-intensive, multimedia packages – stories augmented by charts, maps, photos, and videos that provide important data and even broader context.  

The Light covers the most challenging issues in the region, including the fishing industry, wind energy, education, the environment, immigration, city government, housing, health and politics. 

In addition, The Light showcases the city’s vibrant arts and culture scene. It is reporting that underscores The Light’s commitment to stories that help a city with such a diverse population discover and enjoy passions they have in common.

From a running start, The Light has quickly become a major force on the South Coast of Massachusetts. We partnered with ProPublica on a months-long investigation that disclosed that much of the New Bedford fishing fleet is secretly owned by a Dutch hedge fund. We revealed that 900 New Bedford public school students are homeless, that 3,000 New Bedford homes are still connected to lead plumbing lines, and that corporations with hidden ownership are buying multi family properties in the city. Our partnership with ProPublica continues. We have been selected by Report for America to become a host newsroom and hire a reporter to cover the climate crisis and the environment. 

Qualifications
The Editor-in-Chief should have: 

• A strong record of producing high-impact enterprise journalism, including investigative, explanatory and narrative-style stories that take on the toughest local issues with deep reporting and vivid storytelling. 
• A passion for community journalism that connects with a highly diverse population and captures the whole of our complex city, particularly underserved or marginalized groups. 
• The leadership skills to inspire, coach and direct a team of reporters, editors and multimedia journalists of varying levels of experience. 
• A proven ability to instill a spirit of collaboration, creativity and adventure, in a newsroom mindful of the importance of a work-life balance. 
• An entrepreneurial instinct for experimentation and risk-taking, always looking for new ways to engage readers through cutting-edge content presentation and inventive outreach techniques. 
• Impeccable integrity, devotion to the highest standards of journalistic independence, transparency and ethics. 
• Demonstrated ability to work closely with the business side of the operation, including development, fundraising and audience.

Compensation
The salary will be highly competitive, commensurate with experience. The benefits package includes health care, dental and vision coverage, as well as a company match to our 401(k) program. 

Diversity
The Light is committed to fostering a culture committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, both in our coverage and in our hiring. We encourage applications from journalists who come from groups that have been historically underrepresented in news organizations. 

To apply 
The deadline for applications is March 31. Please email a cover letter that addresses your qualifications, a resume and three references to Publisher Steve Taylor. His email address is publisher@newbedfordlight.org. Please note that applications will be treated in confidence, and that references will only be contacted later in the process and with the applicant’s knowledge.

Type Investigations, formerly The Investigative Fund, incubates high-impact investigative reporting that holds the powerful accountable. We work with independent investigative reporters to produce deeply reported journalism that we publish in partnership with a wide variety of print, broadcast and digital media outlets. Our editors provide diverse freelance reporters with expert editorial guidance, a team of researchers, and funds to cover their travel, time and other reporting costs.

We are looking for an entry-level researcher and fact-checker with a deep interest in investigative journalism. Our program offers rigorous training in key investigative skills, with many opportunities for mentorship and special projects tailored to the interests of the researcher. Researchers will work closely with our team of editors to do in-depth investigative research, fact-check investigations, and conduct originality searches on story proposals. Researchers will also be expected to assist generally with the operations of Type Investigations, including occasional web production and writing our monthly newsletter in collaboration with editors. There may also be occasional opportunities to edit and report, although the ideal applicant should have a passion for research and fact-checking specifically.
