Nicholas Nehamas will join the New York Times as a campaign reporter and as the beat writer on the emerging candidacy of Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida.

Nehamas will begin on April 17.

Recently, he was a reporter on the investigations team at The Miami Herald. He joined as an intern, then covered health care and the real estate beats.

There, he and a Herald team won a Polk Award in February for their coverage of Mr. DeSantis’s migrant flights.

“In 2017, he shared a Pulitzer Prize for his work on the Panama Papers, and he was named a Pulitzer finalist in 2019 for a Herald investigation into South American gold mining and the money laundering, street crime, environmental degradation, child exploitation and drug trafficking that it spawned,” reports the Times.

Nehamas has a B.A. from Harvard College and a M.S. from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

Be sure to congratulate Nehamas on Twitter.
