Data and Graphics Reporter

POLITICO is seeking a data journalist to fill the role of data and graphics reporter. This is a chance to report deeply on the effects of politics and policy and to have your work seen by decision-makers across the government, business and nonprofit worlds. In this role, you'll contribute best-in-class visual journalism to our most premium subscriber offerings: DataPoint and Pro Analysis. Our desk is not a service desk, which means you'll pitch and report on stories from start to finish, as well as collaborate with journalists across our newsroom. We're looking for someone who’s shown that they can dig deep into a topic using both traditional reporting and data reporting techniques. We are proud to have a talented team that covers policy areas core to Pro subscribers, with beats like budget/appropriations, the economy, energy/environment, health care, technology, trade, and more. In this role, you'll work with a range of policy and political reporters and editors across our newsroom to sharpen your reporting and pitches. You'll also work on enterprise pieces for POLITICO’s consumer news site like these stories on Black migration out of Chicago and states’ responses to the Covid-19 pandemic.
