CNN’s global Visuals team is growing, and we’re looking for an interdisciplinary journalist with deep experience in cartography, geospatial analysis and visual storytelling. This editor will produce essential, creative and ambitious journalism across breaking news, daily coverage and enterprise projects, with a particular emphasis on maps and location-based storytelling.
As a member of the global Visuals team, you will work closely with editors, reporters, designers and developers across CNN to contextualize the news and help audiences understand the most important stories of the day. You will source and analyze geospatial data, identify opportunities for visual coverage and create clear, compelling maps and graphics across a wide range of topics, including elections, international conflict, climate, culture, business and policy.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role. The ideal candidate is a strong journalist and visual thinker who can move quickly during breaking news while also developing more ambitious mapping projects over time. This role is intended to strengthen CNN’s late-day and evening visual coverage and will ideally be based on the West Coast or work an East Coast schedule that includes evening hours.
Your Role Accountabilities…
Produce clear, accurate and engaging maps, charts and graphics for breaking news, daily coverage and medium- to long-term enterprise projects.
Source, clean, analyze and interpret geospatial datasets from public records, APIs, satellite imagery and other sources.
Contribute to live and planned coverage of major news events, including elections, international conflicts, extreme weather and other breaking stories.
Experiment with emerging tools and formats, including interactive mapping, satellite imagery, 3D terrain, WebGL and other forms of geospatial storytelling.
Qualifications & Experience…
Advanced experience with geospatial analysis and modern mapping tools such as QGIS, ArcGIS, Mapbox, MapLibre, D3.js or similar platforms.
Experience using some combination of Illustrator, ai2html, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, R, SQL, Excel and Git or the command line.
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 perspective and experience to the role.
How We Get Things Done…
This last bit is probably the most important! Here at WBD, our guiding principles are the core values by which we operate and are central to how we get things done. You can find them at www.wbd.com/guiding-principles/ along with some insights from the team on what they mean and how they show up in their day to day. We hope they resonate with you and look forward to discussing them during your interview.
