The Investigative Researcher and Reporter will be responsible for fact-checking articles prior to publication and producing an average of two news stories per month published in English on the priority topics of Mongabay’s Investigations Desk, including monitoring of natural resource industries, effectiveness of environmental governance, tracing commodity supply chains, and threats to environmental defenders.
You will report to the Investigations Editor and cooperatively and support Mongabay staff of editors and writers to grow our investigative news coverage by developing research briefs for use, fact checking reports produced by others, facilitating pre-publication legal review of reporting, carrying out investigative reporting and news assignments approved by editors, and ensuring adherence to grant guidelines and reporting expectations. You will provide other support as needed to ensure content meets Mongabay’s high standards of professionalism, consistency, authenticity, and reliability. Some of your responsibilities in this role may shift occasionally to accommodate the evolving priorities of a growing organization.
