About Gerald Rich

As the former interactive news editor at The Associated Press, I led and collaborated on data-driven and multimedia news products that leverage software and web development skills. I have over eight years of experience in interactive journalism, focusing on news and data visualization and election coverage.I aim to create engaging and informative news products that empower audiences with data-driven stories and insights. I have a B.A. in Economics and a Product Management Certificate, and I use React, Svelte, D3.js, and AWS to build and deploy interactive graphics and features. I have also constructed CMS features and API endpoints to embed interactive graphics and established and maintained election microservices. I am passionate about advancing the future of journalism and delivering quality and innovation to the news industry. My work has been recognized with an Award of Excellence for Features – Data Project by the Society for News Design.
