Portrait of Karen Zraick

Karen Zraick

I cover the clashes playing out in courtrooms over climate policy and the individuals, advocacy groups and businesses behind the cases.

I joined The Times in 2013. Most recently I worked on the Metro desk, where I covered law enforcement with a focus on the Brooklyn federal court, including cases related to overfishing, transnational repression and gun rights.

While on a detachment to the International desk, I helped cover the Israel-Hamas war.

I have also written about immigration, chronicling the migrant crisis in New York and working on long-term projects on a Bangladeshi enclave in Brooklyn and on the Middle Eastern/North African box on the census.

My 2022 investigation with Dan Barry into a deadly construction site in the Bronx won awards from the Silurians Press Club and the Hillman Foundation. I was also a key member of the team covering Covid-19, for which The Times won the 2021 Pulitzer for public service.

Before joining The Times, I worked at The New York Daily News, The Associated Press and a chain of community newspapers in my home borough of Brooklyn. I am a graduate of SUNY Purchase and Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. I speak Spanish and some Arabic.

I share the values and am committed to upholding the high standards outlined in the paper’s Ethical Journalism handbook.

    No Box to Check: When the Census Doesn’t Reflect You

    Most people of Middle Eastern and North African descent are classified as “white” in U.S. census data. Thousands of respondents to a Times survey told us how they actually identify.

    Israel said it killed a Hamas leader at a refugee camp, but many other people were wounded and killed, Hamas said. The assault came as fuel, food and water shortages pushed civilians to the brink.
