Tyler Pager - White House Correspondent for The New York Times
From his NYT Bio:
"What I Cover
Working closely with the rest of The Times’s White House team, I write about the president’s daily decisions and the broader implications of his agenda. Given the vast power of the American president, I write on a wide range of topics including domestic and economic policy, national security, foreign affairs and national politics. I am particularly drawn to stories about how decisions are made and the effect of policies on Americans and the rest of the world. I am also interested in the American presidency as an institution and how every president puts their own imprint on the job.
My Background
I joined The Times in 2025 to cover the White House. I previously worked at The Washington Post, where I covered Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s presidency and won the 2022 Gerald R. Ford Journalism Prize for Distinguished Reporting on the Presidency. Before that, I covered the White House at Politico and national politics at Bloomberg News. I began my career at The Times as a James Reston Fellow in the Metro section. I am the co-author of the forthcoming book “2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America.” I graduated as the valedictorian from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, and with distinction from the University of Oxford, where I earned a master’s degree in comparative social policy. I grew up in New York, and now live in Washington.
Journalistic Ethics
Maintaining journalistic independence is important for all of us at The Times, which has extensive ethics guidelines. I strive to be accurate and fair in my reporting and also transparent in my reporting process. I work hard to build trust with my sources and take seriously my obligation to protect them. I do not make political donations and I make a personal choice not to register with a political party. I also do not accept gifts, money or favors from anyone who might figure into my reporting. When I am working, I always identify myself as a reporter for The Times."
