Background
Carl Campanile is a veteran journalist with the New York Post, principally covering government and politics.

A graduate of St. John's University, he first learned the craft as a researcher for the great muckraker Wayne Barrett of the Village Voice. Campanile first reported on a massive federal bid-rigging probe that led to convictions of associates of former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo and was part of a team that exposed a lack of safety gear for hospital workers during the COVID-19 outbreak. Campanile has received awards from the NY Press Club and New Jersey Press Association. A sports fan, Campanile avidly follows his beloved Mets baseball team. He loves the outdoors, music, a nice glass of wine and spending time with his son, Casey, and friends.
