Energy and Environment Reporter

The Bismarck Tribune has an exciting job opportunity for a full-time energy and environment reporter.

The successful candidate will cover developments in the Bakken oil fields; coal, with North Dakota home to the single-largest deposit of lignite in the world; and wind energy, in which North Dakota is a leading state. State leaders have embraced carbon capture and sequestration technology, with projects in the works to capture emissions from industrial facilities and bury them deep underground. The state has a burgeoning biofuels industry, rare earths/critical minerals development is on the horizon, and cryptocurrency data centers are being planned or developed across the state.

The position is based in Bismarck. Bismarck and neighboring Mandan are along the Missouri River with miles of trails for outdoor recreation along with a growing food and culture scene. The region also offers prime hunting and fishing opportunities and is an easy drive to a national park. Bismarck-Mandan is a fun place to live and work with the amenities of a big city without the traffic and high cost of living.

The Bismarck Tribune, a Lee Enterprises publication, is an award-winning newspaper that takes pride in being a leader in energy coverage and is not afraid to take on complex projects. We prefer candidates with previous reporting experience but will consider strong recent graduates. The job is 40 hours a week with occasional night and weekend work required.
