Senior graphics editor leaving WSJ

Andrew Garcia Phillips, the senior graphics editor at The Wall Street Journal for the last four-plus years, announced Tuesday that he is leaving the business newspaper.

In an email to his colleagues, Phillips wrote:

Today is my last day at the Journal, as I leave to set my own course forward. I had a terrific five-year run here, and I’m very grateful to the terrific people I learned from along the way.

Phillips also worked as a project graphics editor at The Star-Ledger in Newark, N.J. for six years and as a graphics coordinator for the metro desk at the New York Times for more than three years.

He’s a journalism graduate from Syracuse University and also owns and operates Chartball.com.

In an email to Talking Biz News, Phillips wrote, “I’m leaving the Journal to devote my full time to Chartball.com, a sports data visualization studio that I’ve been running for the last 4 years or so. I’ll be working on Chartball projects and doing data visualization freelance and consulting work.”
