Susanne Craig,
I am an investigative reporter at The New York Times. What I Cover I have discretion on what stories to focus on, and they tend to grow out of a curiosity I have about a particular issue. I have recently written about the finances of Donald J. Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. but my interests are not limited to the corridors of political power. My Background At college I volunteered at the student paper. I loved it and immediately knew I wanted to be a reporter. I am Canadian and have worked at a handful of newspapers in Canada, including The Globe and Mail. I later moved to New York and eventually joined The Wall Street Journal. For much of my career I was a business reporter, covering the culture and the goings on inside big companies and Wall Street firms. In 2014 I decided to mix things up and moved to Albany, N.Y., to cover the state government. It was a big switch but I needed a change and brought a fresh set of eyes to the state capital, one of the most corrupt in the nation. In recent years I have been focused on shedding light on Mr. Trump’s finances. I grew up in Calgary, Canada, and I received a bachelor’s in political science and government from the University of Calgary. Journalistic Ethics I am committed to upholding the standards of integrity that are outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. I strive to be accurate and fair, and make every effort to understand issues from multiple angles. Contact Me Anonymous tips: nytimes.com/tips
