Job Description:
We are seeking a data reporter who will thrive on reporting and using data in a variety of ways to create, shape, and strengthen our journalism. They will be part of a new data reporting team within the Globe newsroom, tasked with carrying out ambitious data-centric projects and stories.
They should be experienced in journalistic hunting and gathering: scraping sites, mining and building databases, filing FOIAs, and battling secretive public agencies. This person will also have a track record of analyzing such data, and preparing and producing compelling visuals or interactives that are accessible and understandable.
They should have strong editorial judgment, journalistic rigor, and impeccable ethics. We want a self-starter and a collegial teammate, someone who can work independently as well as across the newsroom with those who are less conversant in the data arena.
This person will be responsible for pitching, reporting, and producing their own story ideas, and delivering a broad range of data-centric stories of interest to a New England audience. This can range from blogs and fact checks to enterprise stories and marquee investigative projects.
