Data Graphics Fellow (August 2026)
Business InsiderNew York, New York, United States · Posted 5 months agoDescription
Business Insider is hiring a data graphics fellow to join our Creative team to support our newsroom’s visuals.
Business Insider is for people who are driven, optimistic and always looking forward. Our mission is to inspire action through thought-provoking stories. We tell our audience what they want and need to know to improve their lives and the world with storytelling that is accessible, smart, sometimes unexpected, and always helpful. Our team members embody and uphold Business Insider’s three core values: we are all one team, we are effective, and we strive to get better every day.
The Business Insider Fellowship Program is for early career journalists who want to spend six months learning from a newsroom full of passionate, dedicated journalists. Fellows are assigned to teams and become experts in digital storytelling. They produce real work that is distributed to our audience of millions, and by the end of six months, they are prepared for the next phase of their journalism careers. This role requires you to work for 40 hours a week and can be fully remote or based out of our New York City office.
The Role & Team
You will be expected to juggle multiple projects at once, ranging from quick-hit news stories to long-term, ambitious interactive packages.
Daily work includes producing clear, compelling maps, charts, infographics, and tables using tools such as Datawrapper and Illustrator, as well as building larger-scale, custom interactive graphics and story formats with Svelte and d3. Projects typically include scroll-driven stories and experiences, custom minisites, and data-driven features built from large datasets.
As a Data Graphics Fellow, you'll gain valuable experience collaborating with journalists and designers in a fast-moving newsroom environment. You will have the opportunity to pitch and develop your own ideas, and your work will elevate our most enterprising journalism.
This fellow will report directly to our Data Visualization Director, and we expect New York-based fellows to come into the office at least three times per week.
Requirements:
- Expert knowledge of Adobe Illustrator
- Experience with JavaScript/d3, HTML/CSS, and GitHub
- Experience working with Svelte or similar frameworks a plus
- Familiarity with tools like Datawrapper, Flourish, and Figma
- Attention to detail, with strong typography, layout, and color skills
- Understanding of data visualization best practices
- A mobile-first mentality
- Familiarity with accessibility standards and practices
The ideal candidate has:
- A passion for journalism
- A desire to tell unique stories through visuals
- A deep curiosity about data and data visualization
- The ability to work under a deadline and juggle multiple projects at a time
- Confidence as a designer with the ability to pitch and defend work
- Openness to receiving and giving feedback and critiques
- Excellent communication skills with teammates and senior editors
- A desire to expand and develop skills outside their expertise or comfort zone
Additionally, all of our editorial fellows should have:
- A passion for digital storytelling and voracious reading habits
- Familiarity with digital and social media
- The ability to work quickly and collaboratively with a fast-paced team
- Proofreading and copyediting skills
- A belief in Business Insider’s mission to serve readers with the information and inspiration they need in a way that’s accurate, fair, fast, and fun
Salary & Benefits:
- Fellows are paid $23 per hour (overtime when needed and approved)
- PTO and paid holidays
- Eligible for medical, dental, and vision benefits
