Hello! My name is June Kim. I'm a journalist who writes, analyzes data, and produces compelling graphics.
With a background in computer science and journalism, I merge rigorous data-driven reporting with eye-catching visuals.
I am currently a Graphics Fellow at The New York Times, where I report on data-driven and visual stories. Prior to this, I covered climate and energy for MIT Technology Review and reported for outlets including Scientific American, Inside Climate News, Twin Cities PBS and more. I hold a master's degree in Data Journalism from Columbia Journalism School.
Data & Graphics Reporting
Take a look at some of my best work. All stories include original reporting and data analysis using pandas, R, or SQL. I use ggplot and Rawgraphs for exploratory visualizations, before polishing the charts using Illustrator. I also love creating beautiful maps using satellite imagery and QGIS!
Videos & Multimedia
Before diving into data journalism, I spent several years as a multimedia producer and video editor. I feel at home when I'm using Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Illustrator to create captivating visual stories. All videos are written, produced, filmed, edited, and animated by me.
