Josh Voorhees

journalist in Boston, MA

Josh is an independent environmental and labor journalist. Previously, he covered U.S. politics and policy with a focus on campaigns and elections for Slate, and before that, reported on energy and climate policy from Capitol Hill for Politico and E&E News.

His environmental journalism has also been published by the New York Times and Scientific American, among others, and his accountability reporting has helped spur two separate congressional investigations—the first into safeguards at a nuclear waste and weapons complex in the American South and the second into financial conflicts of interest inside the White House.

He trained in environmental & occupational health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, where he focused on the science and practice of environmental and worker justice in a warming world.
