Jonathan Swan

I'm Jonathan Swan.

I'm a White House reporter for The New York Times.

Our job as reporters is to dig out information that powerful people don't want published, to take you into rooms that you would not otherwise have access to.

There's no robot that can go and talk to someone who was in the situation room and find out what was really said.

In order to get original information that's not public, we actually need journalists to do that.

I'm asking you to consider subscribing to The New York Times.

Independent journalism is important, and without you, we simply can't do it.

Everyone's riding tricycles now.

The car business is falling apart.

I'm going to look for a better life because things here are really bad.

I'm a reporter at The New York Times.

You know, when people think about the media, your favorite podcast, you know, cable news panels and different things, I think it's fair to say that myself and my reporting colleagues at The New York Times exist at the more unglamorous end of that spectrum.
