Samuel Granados Joins International as Visual Correspondent

We're very happy to announce that Samuel Granados is joining the International desk as a visual correspondent based in Spain. Sam will report and create graphics and multimedia stories that bring readers to critical global stories and help them understand the world.

Sam has long been a creative force in graphics and multimedia journalism as an editor, reporter and illustrator, producing memorable work on migration routes in Europe, the Oct. 7 attacks, wars in Ukraine and Syria and the pandemic. He has a strong news sense, and his former colleagues rave that he is a terrific collaborator who makes everybody's work better.

He comes to us from The Washington Post, where has served as deputy graphics director and most recently led a team of reporters and directed graphics coverage during the Europe morning. He has also worked as a senior graphics editor at Reuters and was head of graphics at La Nación in Argentina. We are looking forward to what Sam does as he returns to reporting after years of leading teams of reporters.

Sam joins our growing team of visual journalists on International, where he will partner with correspondents and editors across the desk. He will work alongside Lauren Leatherby and Josh Holder, graphics journalists who have lifted the visual ambitions of the London newsroom with their essential coverage of wars in Ukraine and Gaza, demographics, elections and Covid.

Please welcome Sam!
