Job description

The New York Times is an industry leader in visual journalism, excelling in graphics and design, photography and video. The Graphics team at The New York Times is seeking a versatile and experienced visual editor to cover breaking news on the weekend and to publish timely graphics and visual stories. 

The job's primary responsibilities are to create maps, diagrams and other graphics for breaking news and planned stories as part of a regular weekend shift. You will identify sharp visual angles and collaborate with other Graphics staff and Times journalists to publish timely visual stories. You will conceive of new lines of reporting, execute fast-turn graphics, and produce and edit news graphics on deadline.

On some occasions, your work will include editing responsibilities for breaking news coverage when you are working with other Graphics staff and journalists from other desks.

You have strong news judgment and are comfortable working independently. You can evaluate a news moment for the best visual opportunities and then execute graphics across a variety of visual formats.

The Graphics team is a group of visual thinkers with a shared vision to creatively cover the news and develop design solutions in a collaborative setting. 

This is an in-office position based in New York City or DC on a regular 5-day per week schedule that includes working on Saturday and Sunday and includes regular attendance in the office.  

Responsibilities:

  • Create and publish weekend graphics coverage using a range of visual forms. You should have experience building visual stories, and publishing maps, charts, diagrams and other quick-turn graphics.
  • Produce and edit news graphics quickly and iteratively, building from simpler, quick-turn visual forms to more ambitious angles that tell a richer story.
  • Guide a small team of visual journalists to cover major breaking news on the weekend when necessary.
  • Collaborate with journalists from Graphics and other newsroom desks on breaking news coverage.
  • Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.
  • You will report to an editor on the Graphics team.

Here are some examples of the kinds of stories we would like you to produce: 

  • Mapping the First Four Days of Attacks in the Israel-Iran Conflict

  • See the White House as It Stood and What Trump Envisions

  • A Visual Timeline of the Trump Rally Shooting

  • How the Louvre Jewelry Heist Unfolded

  • Hurricane Helene: Mapping More Than 600 Miles of Devastation

  • How Black Lives Matter Reached Every Corner of America

  • A Closer Look at Who Attended President Donald J. Trump's Second Inauguration

  • How the Key Bridge Collapsed in Baltimore: Maps and Photos

Basic Qualifications:

  • 8+ years of experience producing and editing graphics, including mapping and other types of visualization.
  • Deep familiarity with a wide range of visual storytelling forms and techniques that are useful for news coverage, including charts, maps, diagrams and 3-D modeling.
  • Proven ability to identify visual opportunities quickly and produce effective visuals in a breaking news environment.
  • Experience with visual software like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Figma to create and edit visual stories, drafts and graphics.
  • Must be nimble in learning new software and technologies used to produce, prototype and edit visual content.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Ability to read and edit HTML, CSS and Javascript, including frameworks, like Svelte, that are used to produce visual stories.
  • Familiarity with ai2html, web development, and data analysis techniques.
  • Demonstrated track record for working on a collaborative team and for working independently.
  • Attention to detail and excellent written and oral communication skills.
  • Ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects and meet deadlines in fast-moving, unpredictable news and production environments.

This position is represented by the NewsGuild of NY.
