Six Questions We Asked 65 Republican Convention Attendees
How the party has changed and where it might be going, according to its most committed members.
By Alicia Parlapiano and Joyce Ho
I’ve spent more than a decade at The Times, publishing stories that explain what’s happening in our government and with our elections, usually with the help of charts.
My reporting often involves compiling datasets, like every new safety net program created during the pandemic; identifying trends in existing data, like the enormous savings from a Medicare spending slowdown; and conducting surveys of government officials, like asking states when they expected to report the results of the 2020 election.
Sometimes I wade into different areas of coverage, like animal shelters or made-for-TV Christmas movies.
I began at The Times as an intern in 2009 and have been a part of its staff since 2011. In between, I made charts using survey data at the Pew Research Center and covered foreign and business news in the graphics department at The Washington Post.
I have an undergraduate degree in journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 2019, I completed a Knight-Bagehot Fellowship in economics and business journalism at Columbia University.
Like my colleagues, I am committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. I work hard to be accurate and fair with words and with numbers. I use data from established sources and look for the caveats within datasets. I run findings by independent experts and include citations and methodology to be as transparent as possible.
