Portrait of Robert Gebeloff

Robert Gebeloff

I usually work on stories in collaboration with other reporters throughout the newsroom. In recent years, I helped investigate nursing home regulations, gun violence, the impact of President Trump’s appointees on the judiciary, and a number of stories about American demographics. My work often involves acquiring data about a topic from government or academic sources, and then “interviewing” the data — using statistical analysis to answer questions such as how often something occurs or how a situation has changed over time. When official databases on a topic do not exist, I often build our own database from paper and digital records.

I have worked as a data journalist for nearly 25 years. Before joining The Times in 2008, I worked for regional newspapers in New Jersey and spent several years as a beat reporter, covering business and government. I was trained at the National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting at the University of Missouri, and I also find time to teach data skills to journalists throughout the world.

I am committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. I am also a board member at the Center for Journalism Ethics at the University of Wisconsin. As a data journalist, I work hard to analyze figures accurately but also fairly, accounting for the complexity of the subjects I’m reporting on.
