- Write and edit short (150-300 word) stories based on these topics and create beautiful accompanying charts and visuals, often multiple in a day.
- Create longer, feature-length articles that dive into one topic.

- Knowledge of key editorial players in the publishing landscape.
- A demonstrated passion for telling, or consuming stories with data.
