Hi! I am a Canadian journalist living in Brooklyn.
I work as the Social Photo Editor for The New York Times. That involves:
- Curating and writing for @nytimes and Flashback
- Experiments in off-platform storytelling: Instagram Stories (see all of them here)
-Guiding Instagram strategy for Times Instagram accounts
-Sharing our photography across other social platforms
-Working with photographers, reporters and editors on strategies to tell visual stories
-And occasionally, working on projects like this one: America Today, in Vision and Verse
I also write about photography, most often for the Lens blog, where I was the producer from 2010-2012.
After that, I spent about a year and a half in Hong Kong, where I worked as a photo editor and researcher for the International Herald Tribune.
When I returned to New York, I worked as a photo editor on the Metro desk.
I'm a graduate of the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism and Queen's University, where I spent a year in a castle.
I'm also a proud alum of the Queen's Journal.

Better yet, send me a note: ker.macdonald [at] gmail.com. I'm probably following you on Instagram
