When big news warrants minute-by-minute coverage, the Live team is deployed to present what we know as quickly as we can without sacrificing our core journalistic values, including accuracy and fairness. We apply this rigor to a variety of topics, including wars, politics and major cultural events.
My Background
I joined The Times in 2012 on the social media team, becoming an early voice behind the @nytimes Twitter account. I later moved to reporting, covering a wide range of stories but often focusing on international news and internet culture. I now live in New York after stints in London and Hong Kong.
I grew up in State College, Pa., and stuck around town to attend Penn State University. I have also worked at ProPublica, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The (Harrisburg, Pa.) Patriot-News, and at a short-lived, confusingly named news site called TBD.
Journalistic Ethics
I place accuracy front and center, always working to ensure that the smallest details of my reporting are correct. But I am also human, and when I make mistakes I fix them as soon as possible and am transparent about the error.
I also place a lot of importance on fairness, working to understand issues from multiple angles. When contentious issues are complicated, as they usually are, I try to reflect the reality of the situation as best I can.
I do not accept gifts or cover stories to which I have a close personal connection. And like all Times journalists, I am committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook.

The walkouts, which began on Sept. 15, were extended at two Detroit automakers, but not at Stellantis, which the union said had gone further in meeting its demands.
The fate of the defense minister, Oleksii Reznikov, had been the subject of increasing speculation in Ukraine. It was the biggest shake-up in Ukraine’s government since Russia’s full-scale invasion.
It took weeks of fierce combat for Ukrainian forces to seize the village of Robotyne from the Russians, and they have advanced just a few miles since June — signs of the daunting task ahead.
Moscow, which has repeatedly complained that the U.N.-brokered agreement is one-sided in Ukraine’s favor, said it could return to the deal if its demands were met.
