The New York Times has hired German Lopez as a reporter and writer on The Morning team. Currently, he is a senior correspondent at Vox, where he is co-host of “The Weeds” podcast and the writer of a newsletter focused on policy.

Lopez has covered several beats, including the opioid epidemic, crime, gun control, taxes, the economy, Congress and COVID-19. At The Times, Lopez will help expand The Morning to seven days a week early next year, enabling The Morning’s new weekend editions to turn into one of The Times’ largest platforms.
