Fellow, Graphics

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.

Join the 2027 New York Times Fellowship class as a graphics editor in New York.

As a Graphics fellow, you will report, write, design and code graphics and multimedia stories, including the presentation of statistical visualizations, video, photography and animation. You will work with other Graphics staff members and department leaders to develop skills and judgment as a creator of visual stories, on both daily news coverage and on enterprise projects across multiple platforms.

The Graphics desk, which covers all topics across the news cycle, is a group of journalists and visual thinkers with backgrounds ranging from architecture to cartography to computer science. We are curious about all kinds of things and want you to bring your own curiosity to bear in creative approaches to storytelling.

This is an in-office position and includes regular attendance in the office four days each week. There may be some flexibility to work remotely per your departmental guidance. You may be required to work some nights, weekends and holidays as needed.
