New Hires on Digital News Design

Nick Llanton has joined as the weekend staff editor on the Social Visuals team, where he will find visual solutions for news, features, enterprise and investigative projects, bringing the best of the Times's storytelling to our growing social media audiences.

Before joining The Times, Nick was a senior social producer at Hypebeast, where he specialized in photography, videography and branded content. There, Nick captured, edited and designed a wide range of fashion, celebrity and lifestyle content, crafting it into immersive stories for millions of followers on social and editorial platforms. Nick has covered the Olympics, the Sean Combs trial and various tech launches, and he's excited to bring his passion for both features and news to The Times.

Nick is originally from Florida and relocated to New York City in 2017, where his dedication to photography and the ever-evolving landscape of social media has guided him to this next chapter.

Please join me in welcoming Joanne and Nick.
