Art Director

The Tulsa Local News Initiative seeks an art director to lead our visual storytelling and production efforts, including producing the print edition of the Oklahoma Eagle and digital assets for daily and enterprise journalism produced by the Tulsa Local News Initiative. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of digital and print media production, a passion for visual journalism, and the ability to translate complex stories into compelling visual narratives. As a startup building a newsroom from scratch, we have the opportunity to reimagine visual storytelling in local journalism. The art director will work closely with the executive editor, news editor, and community engagement team to develop a visual strategy that enhances our reporting, reflects the diversity of Tulsa, and fosters a deeper connection with our readers. In addition to a team of editors and beat reporters, the Tulsa newsroom will have best-in-class community engagement expertise, multimedia production, dedicated capacity for service journalism and research, and Tulsa Documenters.
