Brian Rosenthal

I'm Brian Rosenthal.

I'm an investigative reporter at The New York Times.

My dad is a scientist.

I remember growing up, I didn't fully understand what he was doing every day.

But now that I work as an investigative journalist, I do understand.

I do the same thing, obtaining documents, crunching the data, and I talk to as many people as possible to get to the bottom of the story.

The New York Times does not publish until we can prove that something is true.

The best scientists are able to do that deep work because they receive funding from their university or from the government.

We as journalists depend on funding from subscribers.

You can support that type of work by subscribing to The New York Times.
