Hi! I’m Yoohyun Jung

I’m a data visual journalist and facilitator based in Oakland, Calif. I came here in 2021 following stints in Hawaii, Arizona and Korea, where I was born. Currently, I work as the deputy data editor at the San Francisco Chronicle.

At my core, I am a storyteller and collaborator.

Journalism has been a wild ride so far. Over a decade, I’ve worked in newsrooms small and big, across platforms, and in a variety of reporting, data, graphics and editing roles. It’s been challenging and heartbreaking at times, but also wonderful and inspiring. I believe now more than ever journalism’s crucial role in democracy and holding together communities through tumultuous times.

And I want to continue to be inspired! Let’s brainstorm together.

I love to help make a collective vision come alive. My biggest journalistic passion at the moment is figuring out the different and awesome ways in which data and visuals can not only enrich, but drive impactful storytelling. This is especially exciting when it involves collaborations!
