Alexandra Berzon,

I am an investigative reporter covering American politics and elections for The New York Times. What I Cover My aim is to tell deeply reported, consequential stories about the organizations and people influencing U.S. elections, with a focus on the voting systems themselves. My Background Since joining The Times in 2022, I’ve largely covered the election denial movement and its influence on American politics. I joined The Times from the investigative nonprofit organization ProPublica. Before that, I was an investigative reporter at The Wall Street Journal, where I wrote stories about Amazon’s unregulated third-party flea market and its sale of unsafe and banned products, which were finalists for a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting. My reporting also revealed sexual misconduct allegations against the casino mogul Steve Wynn, which led to him resigning from the company he founded. I contributed to The Journal’s Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of secret payments by Donald Trump to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal. Early in my journalism career I worked at the Las Vegas Sun, where I investigated a spate of construction worker deaths on the Las Vegas Strip. My stories exposed lax enforcement of government regulations and won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service and other awards. I graduated from Vassar College and have a master’s degree in journalism from U.C. Berkeley. Journalistic Ethics Like my colleagues at the Times, I am committed to upholding the strict standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. That means that I don't invest in stocks or take gifts that could influence my reporting, and I don't participate in political activism or make political donations. I am always guided by the facts and strive for absolute accuracy and thoroughness in my reporting. I work hard to protect sources, who at times may be granted anonymity to provide critical contributions to my reporting when they would otherwise be at risk to do so.
