My last post talked about how journalism is becoming more data-based.
This goes hand in hand with the need to present data-driven stories as visually and simply as possible so people can come to terms with complex issues.
In line with this, this week the US- based Boston Globe is recruiting for a data visualization and graphics
journalist to create multimedia infographics, data-driven
visual explanations, and interactive maps and charts for its print and online publications.
At present the Globe's graphic department creates both print and online graphics but this new job will focus online initially.
The paper is looking for an infographic artist with strong curiosity, journalistic integrity, and creativity to contribute visual explanations to its journalism efforts.

Could this area be a growth opportunity in Australian journalism in future?
