The program produces compelling digital and social media presentations of stories, and contributes to the What on Earth newsletter.

Along with your excellent communication skills, and exceptional creativity, you are a committed team player and committed to mentoring other journalists on the team.

Key Tasks:
  • Pitches strong and compelling climate solutions stories and treatments for both audio and digital platforms, with a "podcast first" approach
