Before the Times, Evan was a reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, where he revealed that the EPA had failed in evaluating a Superfund site, erroneously declaring a toxic dump in a busy suburban neighborhood to be clean and safe.Evan grew up in New York City and received a bachelor’s degree from Bates College and a master’s degree from the Columbia School of Journalism. He lives in Washington with his wife and two kids and spends his free time pedaling along the region’s bike paths.
