Explain the news

I'm leaving E&E News to start a new job as a staff writer at Vox. I'll be covering many of the same topics but at a broader scale and for a more general audience. Vox's ethos of providing context to current events is appealing and I think it's a useful approach to covering environmental issues, which can often become difficult to follow for people who aren't monitoring every increment of emissions trading in the northeast or lawsuits against oil companies. 

I'll probably branch out here and there into a few other topics as well. 

However, I'd be remiss if I didn't express my gratitude to my friends and colleagues at E&E News. This was my first job as a journalist and wonderful folks there made it a great place to work and learn the craft. E&E News still provides some of the best environmental reporting around and I will continue to follow their work.
