The intern will be responsible for pitching story ideas; hunting down, structuring, and manipulating data; testing and critiquing new productions; writing data stories; and producing his or her own interactives and visualizations. Candidates must know how to use Excel and HTML. Skills in Javascript, JSON, XML, jQuery, graphic design, and FOIA requests are a plus.
