Journalist, Audience Engagement and Data

Know what makes people tick and numbers talk? There’s a spot for you at The Baltimore Sun as an audience engagement and data journalist. The person who fills this role should be collaborative, an active participant on social media and creator of data-driven stories and visualizations. A good candidate also should be able to pinpoint why a viral infographic took off and scrutinize the methodology behind it. Producing content for The Sun’s website, print newspaper, social media and other external platforms, this person should understand the power of interactivity and numbers to make content digestible and relatable. They should be comfortable taking the lead in daily and longer-term tasks including programming social media accounts, analyzing and visualizing data, soliciting and responding to user feedback, pitching and reporting stories, planning virtual and in-person events and tracking analytics.
