Josh Keller

I lead visual coverage for the international desk of The New York Times. I work with a team of journalists based around the world to find original approaches to global news stories — reporters, designers, developers, chartmakers and mapmakers.

Our work weaves together written and visual explanations of complex subjects. We have investigated and diagrammed why an “unsinkable” superyacht sank, how Covid spread in the early days of the pandemic, how wealth changes your exposure to air pollution in New Delhi, and why Notre Dame went up in flames. These stories are as much about creative forms of reporting (finding things out) as they are about memorable forms of presentation (showing what we find).

Before joining The Times, I wrote about colleges for The Chronicle of Higher Education and ran a small web design company in San Francisco.
