Aimee Ortiz,

I am a reporter for The New York Times covering breaking news and other topics.What I Cover I cover breaking news and trending topics. I also look for underreported stories that shed light on issues impacting different communities or stories that help readers make sense of the ever-changing world. I have a deep interest in investigative reporting, particularly looking at how businesses affect vulnerable populations. My Background I joined The Times in 2019 as a general assignment reporter. I later worked as the tips reporter, carefully vetting each and every tip sent to The Times as well as assisting with some major investigations, before returning to the breaking news department in 2023. Before The Times, I worked at The Boston Globe as a reporter and digital producer. I graduated from Boston University with a degree in journalism. I’m a New Jersey native, a fluent Spanish speaker and a voracious reader. I’m an active member of the Times Guild, our newsroom union, which works to ensure that The Times is a fair and equitable place to work. My pronouns are she/her. Journalistic Ethics I’m a curious and empathetic listener. I believe in casting a wide net, often speaking to far more sources than necessary in an effort to ensure I’m getting the story right. While I’m often on a tight deadline, I am driven by a need for accuracy and fairness. I identify myself as a New York Times reporter when working and I honor confidential sourcing. As a Times journalist, I follow our ethics policy.
