Hong Kong

Posted May 17, 2024 - Requisition No. 125345

Bloomberg News is one of the biggest financial and business news organizations in the world. We lead the way in breaking news and providing analysis on financial markets, from daily coverage through to in-depth features. We are known for our quality, accuracy and ability to deliver news investors can use. It’s what keeps us inventing and re-inventing, all the time.

Bloomberg News is looking for a reporter to cover weather and the changing climate.

The weather has never mattered more to markets, economies and governments as a warmer world brings hotter summers, stronger storms and more erratic rainfall. Insurers are paying out record amounts for weather-related losses, crop yields are more unpredictable, and the shift to renewables is tying energy markets to the vagaries of sunshine and wind.

As part of our global energy and commodities team, you will serve a broad swathe of Bloomberg clients: from spot news stories on short-term weather patterns to diving into long-term meteorological trends.

We are open to candidates with a range of backgrounds, but want scientifically literate people able to explain complex ideas clearly in a variety of formats. A background in financial journalism would be a bonus.

You will be part of a global network of weather reporters and will work closely with the Green climate team. As we expand our coverage, there will be opportunities to work on video and audio projects as well as a new newsletter product.

We'll trust you to:

• Build out weather coverage in the region, from extreme events to scientific discoveries

• Report with speed and accuracy

• Balance daily news with easily accessible explanatory pieces and creative long-form stories

• Work seamlessly and proactively with teams across other regions and departments

• Be innovative and creative in writing and formatting stories

You'll need to have

• Experience collaborating with teams and colleagues across locations and/or functions

• Experience covering weather and climate, or working in a related sector

• A proven history of writing fast, compellingly and accurately in English

• A track record of distilling complex concepts into accessible language

• A track-record in communicating scientific ideas

• The ability to write compelling stories quickly

• Proficiency in spoken and written English

• Demonstrated continuous career growth within an organization
