William Widmer Email & Phone Number

As a photo editor in the NYT newsroom, I work across desks/departments to produce, assign, edit and publish stories and news briefs for daily website and print editions.

Greater New Orleans Area

My visual reporting for the NYT has focused on issues of environmental racism, human ecology, climate change, rural poverty, and criminal justice. And lighter fare like travel features, Mardi Gras, and lots of portraits.

While a staff photo editor at The New York Times Editing Center, I worked on the team responsible for the licensing and syndication of NYT-commissioned photography to hundreds of newswire clients worldwide.
