Job offer: enterprising reporter to cover NASA and space science

The Houston Chronicle, one of the largest newspapers in the U.S., is looking for an enterprising reporter to cover NASA and space science. Houston has a five-decade history with space exploration and the legendary Johnson Space Center headquarters.

Further, Houston and Texas will play a big part of space exploration and research in the 21st century – with a licensed spaceport in the works and Elon Musk’s Space X initiative setting roots in the Lone Star State. Houstonians have a deep interest in space science, technology and space exploration. The city is a diverse, international metropolitan area anchored by some of the world’s largest energy companies, celebrated health institutions, fast-growing technology sector and the nation’s second-largest port.

This is a high-profile beat that requires strong story-telling that can only be done if you get out of the newsroom. It demands a reporter who can take complicated subjects and tell them with clarity and intrigue. This reporter will need to demonstrate a sharpened ability to write engaging, sophisticated stories for digital and print platforms.

This demanding mission requires an experienced hand. Previous experience covering space science preferred, but if you’re a sharp-minded journalist who wants to produce smart journalism, we want to hear from you.
