The Financial Times has hired Niko Kommenda to be a reporter on its visual stories team.
He will start later this month.
Kommenda has been at The Guardian as a visual projects editor. He joined The Guardian in 2017 on the visuals team. In May 2019, he launched an interactive page live-tracking the use of coal for power generation in the United Kingdom. He produced and wrote the article in the space of three days, and set up the page to update itself every 15 minutes.
He has also teamed up with data projects editor Caelainn Barr to analyze the gender pay gap figures submitted every year by British employers. He’s had a leading role in covering these filings since they were first made mandatory in 2018.
While studying computational journalism in Cardiff University’s pioneering joint honors course, which blends the skills of the School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies and the School of Computer Science & Informatics, he was selected to join the Guardian as Google Newslab fellow in the summer of 2016.
