New York, NY

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 2025 New York Times Fellowship class as a graphics editor in either the newsroom or our Opinion section, both in New York.

As a newsroom 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 newsroom 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 to find people who bring their own curiosity to bear in creative approaches to storytelling.

As an Opinion Graphics fellow, you will create visual opinion journalism using data visualization, data analysis, programming, vector art and other digital tools. You will collaborate across the Opinion section and with guest essayists to provide visual evidence for the arguments and debates that shape our world.

You should have an eye for detail, a nose for fresh arguments and fine writing, solid research skills, a commitment to the highest standards of accuracy, the ability to dive into unfamiliar material on deadline, and discretion in handling sensitive subjects.

These are hybrid positions that require regular attendance in the office each week per departmental guidance. You may be required to work nights, weekends and holidays as needed.

Responsibilities:

Basic Qualifications:

No more than five years of full-time, professional journalism experience, excluding internships
Interest in data visualization, cartography or other forms of visual journalism and the skills to start producing work in these areas
Skill in interface design and information graphic design
2+ years of experience working with graphics tools and software, like D3.js, R, JavaScript, Python, HTML/CSS and GIS
Experience with Adobe Creative Suite, especially Illustrator
A portfolio demonstrating experience with news graphics or interactive visualizations

Preferred Qualifications:

Record of multiple news or visual internships or equivalent experience
Ability to meet deadlines and adapt to change in an unpredictable news and production environment
Curiosity and interest in the news, and in finding innovative approaches to telling stories
Experience working collaboratively with members of a mixed-media team

To apply, upload a résumé and cover letter. You should also include a link to a portfolio of your work. The application will prompt you when to upload materials and ask you for the link to your portfolio. Applications that fail to include any of these materials or follow these instructions will not be considered.

You must be authorized to work in the United States. We will not sponsor work visas for the fellowship, but we may consider you if you have an existing work visa or a valid student visa that can be extended with Optional Practical Training.

You may apply to only one fellowship position per year. For instance, if you apply as a graphics editor, you should not apply for any other positions in the fellowship. Duplicate applications will be discarded.

The application deadline is 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Dec. 2.

The Times Fellowship generates a high level of interest, so we cannot acknowledge the status of applications upon receipt or during the vetting process, which can take eight weeks or more. We cannot accept applications that are mailed or emailed to us. We will contact you for interviews as needed.

The fellowship program will begin on or about June 2, 2025, and end on May 22, 2026, subject to satisfactory performance. There is no guarantee of a full-time position upon completion of the program.
