NPR’s News Apps/graphics team is looking for a civic-minded graphics reporter to join us to cover the 2024 elections. Our team works on data visualizations, information design, creative story presentations and custom tooling to help tell stories in the NPR newsroom. (You can see some of our past work on our team blog and GitHub sites.)
This is a temporary position, running through Jan. 26, 2025, and can be based at our Washington, DC, headquarters or at a remote location in the U.S. approved by NPR.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to help our audience make sense of the elections, including key issues, results and analysis. Your biggest responsibilities will be to help design and build our results displays for the general election, and to work on related stories and analysis. You will be assigned other projects as bandwidth permits.
On this team, you will have to work quickly in a dynamic environment. Members of our team wear many hats — designer, reporter, data wrangler, developer, cartographer, sysadmin, etc. Depending on your experience and the team’s needs, you’ll also utilize different skills day-to-day. And you’ll work closely with various journalists and storytelling units around the NPR organization and across our network of member stations, including photographers and video journalists, beat reporters and show producers, copy editors, digital editors and engagement editors.
This is a union represented role covered under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement with SAG-AFTRA.
