Jonathan Woods is a multimedia editor for msnbc.com. Before joining the website in 2009, Woods spent three years as a photojournalist at the Gazette in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Woods began his career path with a series of internships across the United States. He built strong foundations at The Tennessean, The Gazette in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Community Newspapers covering the 27 suburbs of Milwaukee, before landing at the Rocky Mountain News. His photos have appeared in publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek and USA Today.

Woods coordinated and photographed breaking news and headline stories including the end of NASA's human spaceflight program, Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster, the Haiti Earthquake, Hurricane Katrina, and record-breaking flooding in Iowa. He has won numerous awards from National Press Photographers Association and the Hearst Photojournalism Championships.

In September of 2009, while at msnbc.com, Woods discovered a new image of the alleged mastermind behind the 9-11 attacks, Khalid Shiek Mohammed, that many websites and newspapers subsequently published the next day. Following the earthquake in Haiti in January 2010, Woods appeared on cable TV to talk about picture editing for a massive natural disaster and share the best pictures with a TV audience.

Born in Minnesota in 1982, Woods has a degree in photojournalism from Western Kentucky University.
