New York City
Editor responsible for feature stories as well as photography at Quartz.
Quartz covers international business news, loosely defined, with an emphasis on taking smart and creative approaches to stories. We tend to reserve our (sadly limited) photography budget either for coverage of a big breaking news event (when we look to photos to tell the story in a way traditional reporting doesn't) or for striking photo essays that illuminate or bring a fresh perspective to an issue in line with our core themes of interest (a.k.a. "obsessions"), which are about how shifting trends in technology, economic power, political power, natural resources, and the relationships between business, governments and people are changing the underlying structure of the global economy.
