As a former newsroom graphic artist, I'm really curious - I assume you work on the web team rather than the news side? What is the separation between the news teams and the web development team? Does the graphics team build special features like this? Are they also responsible for designing or building article templates? It's fun watching the new order take shape, and pieces like this make me long for the newsroom again...
- jashkenas 14y agoYou should get back into it then. I know the Times is always looking for good folks. I'm in Interactive News, on the news side (for a few more days, at least ;) Special features like this one are usually done by Multimedia (recently merged with the Graphics team), and there are also many detailed individual graphics, photos, and videos that are a part of it. Things like article templates are more in the Design department -- but they also collaborated on this. Really, everyone pitches in as best they can.
- untog 14y agoThere isn't one, all-encompassing web team. The Interactive News department (as Jeremy has described) is in the newsroom, while teams like the one I am a member of (which make more structural stuff, for want of a better word) are a few floors away from the newsroom. It's kind of a reflection of how deeply the web is (and will continue to be) integrated into organisations like NYT.
