Portrait of Niraj Chokshi

Niraj Chokshi

I write about the evolving business of moving people and goods. I have reported on industry-altering deals, fatal crashes, new technology, violations of sanctions, safety shortfalls, manufacturing and travel dysfunction. I enjoy finding creative ways to explain complicated subjects. And I am always interested in the behind-the-scenes drama and decisions that change how we live and move.

I have covered a wide range of topics over my career. Most recently, I worked on general assignment teams at The Times and The Washington Post, covering breaking news and writing features on subjects as varied as shipwrecks, apple farming, the Boy Scouts, drug policy, rising partisanship, cultural debates and heartbreaking events like a California boat fire that killed dozens of people. Before that, I had reported on politics and policy across the United States, Congress, the economy, technology and the business of law.

I was born and raised in the northeastern United States. My partner and I live in New York with our dog, Kevin.

I believe that informed, accurate reporting is vital to a functioning and fair society. Like all Times journalists, I am committed to the truth and upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. I also believe in treating everyone whom I speak with or write about with respect, and am committed to never shying away from a tough story.

You can reach me securely by mentioning me by name in a submission to the The New York Times tip line. Or message me on social media to coordinate a conversation by Signal.
