WSJ seeks a graphics reporter in New York

The Wall Street Journal is looking for an experienced Graphics Reporter to produce visual stories and drive innovative storytelling for digital audiences.

You will work on both fast-turnaround and longer-term news and enterprise projects that span a number of coverage areas, such as markets, finance, business, politics, technology, health and science.

You will bring your own strong ideas and work with other visual journalists, editors and reporters to create information-rich news graphics in a variety of formats that might include data visualizations, cartography, 3D and illustration. We’re looking for someone who is endlessly curious and comfortable in a role at the intersection of journalism, design, and technology.

You will be based in our New York office and will report to one of our visual editors.

To apply, please submit a resume, cover letter and examples of your work.

You will:

  • Identify and pitch opportunities for graphics on news topics that are editorial priorities or timely ‘off-the-news’ stories.
  • Report, research, and create visual stories that might be original pitches, assigned by an editor, or collaborations with other reporters.
  • Create smart approaches for visual stories across WSJ platforms and external platforms.
  • Help review and provide feedback on other visual stories that are created in the department.
  • Help reporters and editors learn new skills that will contribute to their visual storytelling.
  • Work quickly and efficiently under tight deadlines.

You have:

  • Prior experience in a newsroom, or equivalent experience.
  • Excellent visual skills, including demonstrable design knowledge, such as layout, typography, color, and interaction design.
  • Strong experience with Adobe tools and ai2html.
  • Strong experience with D3, React, Svelte, and/or other modern web technologies.
  • Good knowledge of responsive design, the technical nuances of the digital landscape, and best practices for building stories for mobile devices.
  • Strong ability in data analysis and associated tools, such as R, Python, Excel or SQL.
  • At least one or two specialties that might include design, 3D, animation or data visualization.
  • A creative vision and willingness to share and collaborate on new ideas.
  • The initiative to take on and learn new skills.
