Bloomberg News is seeking a Data Visualization Reporter in New York to cover events as they unfold, displaying data-driven insights through charts, maps and other forms. We value people who are motivated to help readers understand news events through their creation of clear and informative graphics, and who pitch in to ensure our team’s contributions to newsroom coverage are timely. 
In addition to the New York team, you’ll have opportunities to collaborate with Bloomberg News Data Visualization colleagues in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei, San Francisco and Washington D.C.

WE’LL TRUST YOU TO:

•  Rely on your exceptional curiosity, technical prowess and design sensibilities to create informative maps, charts, explanatory diagrams and other graphics in response to news events, both planned and unplanned
•  Collaborate with team members and newsroom colleagues to report on news events as they evolve over subsequent days or weeks, identifying potential data and visual opportunities for stories that push our coverage forward 
•  Work efficiently under tight deadlines
•  Possess experience or interest in topics core to Bloomberg News coverage — including business, finance, markets, economics, technology, and government matters — and an eagerness to develop subject-matter expertise in these areas

YOU’LL NEED:

•  Strong sense of visual design, layout and typography, as well as familiarity with design software, including Adobe Illustrator and Figma
•  Experience reporting on varied deadlines and crafting visual narratives with data
•  Experience with data reporting — the ability to collect, manage, munge and analyze data from various sources and formats using R, Python, or other programmatic methods
•  Experience with front-end web development is preferred but not required

 
You’ll have the support of other editors and journalists across our highly-collaborative global graphics team, but your ability to jump into projects and apply these skills will help the team take ownership of critical stories. 
 
If you think you'd be a good fit to join us, submit an application and include a resume, a brief letter telling us about yourself and a portfolio that demonstrates experience creating graphics and data-driven narratives. Include a link to your Github account if you have one.
