Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty (rferl.org) | Prague, Czech Republic | Full-time, Onsite

We're looking for another Data/Visual journalist to join RFE's English-language digital team, which is based within the company's Central Newsroom.

We use design/code/video to tell stories from our broadcast region. These will be everything from small news graphics such as charts and maps, to larger data visualizations and microsites. Since this is a hybrid design _and_ editorial role, you'll be expected to pitch stories regularly.

We offer a really nice benefits package, including relocation, paid housing, global health insurance, tuition for kids, and more.

Requirements/Qualifications

* Portfolio is a must. We're looking for at least 2 years of relevant experience in editorial design (such as in a news environment).

* Front-end HTML, CSS, Javascript proficiency.

* Expert user of graphic design programs such as Adobe Illustrator, Sketch, etc.

* Knowledge of responsive web design techniques, and CMSes.

* Experience with visualization libraries such as D3.

* Versed in social media best practices, such as appropriate sizes of visual content on Facebook, and Twitter.

Nice to have, but not required

* Experience with motion graphics and video storytelling using tools such as Adobe After Effects.

* Fluency in another language from RFE/RL’s broadcast region.

I'm not the photographer, I put the site together. Our photo journalist, Amos, met one of the tuskers on another reporting trip (which I also produced), called On Siberia's Ice Highway.
