Weekend Data & Graphics Editor, CNN Digital Visuals

Join CNN Digital Visuals as a Weekend Data & Graphics Editor responsible for creating compelling visual stories on breaking news and feature beats. This role requires working 1–2 weekend days as part of a rotating schedule and serves as the primary data and graphics editor on duty.

Responsibilities

  • Create graphics and visuals—maps, charts, interactives, and other visual storytelling formats—for breaking news stories and medium- to long-term features.
  • Serve as the primary weekend data and graphics editor, exercising editorial judgment and coordinating directly with editors and reporters across desks.
  • Work with senior editors to identify and assign mapping opportunities, from single graphics to larger storylines for both breaking news and enterprise coverage.
  • Evaluate the performance of templates, documentation and mapping workflows, raising opportunities to refine or create new ones, and updating the handbook when necessary.
  • Review data, analyses, stories, visualizations and graphics to ensure they uphold rigorous editorial and design standards.
  • Collaborate closely with teammates to document work, open source data when relevant, and participate in knowledge- and skill-sharing across the team.

Qualifications & Experience

  • At least 3 years of newsroom or comparable data / visualization experience.
  • Proven experience in data-driven reporting, visualization, and creative storytelling.
  • Proficiency with mapping and geospatial visualization tools (QGIS, Mapbox, D3.js, ArcGIS or similar platforms).
  • Familiarity with automated data pipelines using tools such as Github Actions.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work independently and take initiative, especially during fast-paced weekend shifts.
  • Familiarity with newsroom workflows and comfort publishing under tight deadlines.
  • Reader‑first mindset and strong commitment to accuracy, clarity, and multiplatform storytelling.
  • Comfort working both independently and collaboratively with cross‑functional teams.
  • Willingness to experiment with novel storytelling techniques and / or how graphics are designed for homepages and off‑platform.
  • Curiosity and openness to experimenting with new storytelling formats (e.g., scrollytelling, 3D visualizations, emerging technologies).

    • If you don’t have every one of these skills, that’s OK—we want to hear from candidates who are passionate about this work and eager to bring their unique vision and experience to the role.
