Mark Landler

I am the London bureau chief of The New York Times, working with a team of correspondents to cover the United Kingdom.

What I Cover

I aim to produce a mosaic of coverage of Britain, exploring its politics in the post-Brexit era, the British royal family under a new monarch, and the culture and society of a changing country. I write about Britain’s relations with its European neighbors, the United States, and China. And I use London as a base to cover the geopolitical reach of the United States.

My Background

I’ve worked for The Times for more than three decades, beginning as a copy boy the week after I graduated from Georgetown University. My first reporting job was covering the media business and telecommunications, after which I was posted to Hong Kong and Frankfurt as bureau chief. I have reported from 70 countries, chronicling wars, political uprisings, economic upheaval and daily life. In 2007, I shared an Overseas Press Club award for my work on a series about China and the environment.

In Washington, I was the diplomatic correspondent and a White House correspondent, covering the Obama and Trump presidencies. In 2016, I published “Alter Egos” (Random House), a comparative study of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. I was a Reuters journalism fellow at Oxford University in 1997, and am a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a think tank where journalists, government officials, business executives and others discuss foreign policy.

I grew up in Vermont.

Journalistic Ethics

Independence is central to The Times’s mission and to my work, at home and abroad. As a Times journalist I adhere to the standards of integrity outlined in The Times’s Ethical Journalism handbook. In the U.S., I do not contribute to political candidates, and I choose to not be a member of any political party. As a foreign correspondent, I aim to present balanced coverage that gives voice to people from diverse perspectives. I do not shrink from writing about contentious issues, but I try to do so with context and sensitivity. I always identify myself as a Times reporter when I am working.
