The Data/Graphics team at NBC News is responsible for explaining the news through visualizations and data analysis.
We build interactives, charts, maps, illustrations, graphics and more to tell the news in a compelling and thoughtful way. See our recent work: https://www.nbcnews.com/datagraphics
The intern should be interested in data visualizations and be an avid news reader. They should have an interest in data journalism and will help find stories that we could be telling in a new and visual way. They will also help create charts, maps and graphics for breaking news stories and for reported features.
