Open Source Reporting, Graphics (Graphics Multimedia Editor)

The posting, as The New York Times wrote it

The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.

The New York Times Graphics team is looking for a reporter with extensive open-source and investigative reporting skills to turn raw evidence into impactful visual stories. You have a track record for uncovering exclusive information off the news.

The Graphics team is a leader in using spatial and visual techniques on investigative stories, and we're looking for someone who is passionate about accountability journalism using cutting-edge reporting techniques.

Below are a few examples of the kinds of stories that you will be a part of:

• An exclusive look at the failed columns of the Midtown Manhattan near-collapse
• A 3-D analysis of why firefighters' lines of sight were limited in the deadly LaGuardia Crash
• An investigation into the mass graves in Syria
• An investigation into the causes of a Miami building collapse
• A spatial investigation into a deadly fire in the Bronx
• A forensic analysis of an apartment building collapse in the Turkey earthquake

Working with journalists on the Graphics team and across the newsroom, you will play an important role in shaping visual reconstructions and investigations that rely on spatial analysis or use 3-D modeling. You will gather and analyze evidence for stories across a wide range of topics for both quick-turn stories as well as longer-term enterprise.

You will be expected to take the initiative in leading major storylines, with the goal of uncovering new or exclusive findings across multiple visual story formats. You should be curious and driven, and be comfortable with moving between solo deep dives and fast-paced, cross-desk collaborations.

This is an in-office position based in New York and includes regular attendance in the office four days a week.
