Hello! My name is June Kim. I'm a journalist who writes, analyzes data, and produces compelling graphics from start to finish.

With a background in computer science and journalism, I merge rigorous data-driven reporting with eye-catching visuals.

I'm currently a Graphics Multimedia Editor at The New York Times, where I produce data-driven visuals for videos. 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, data gathering and analysis using python or R. 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

Motion helps data and graphics come alive. I use After Effects to create engaging animations that help us innovate in visual storytelling and create compelling visuals that help audience understand the complex news cycle.
