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.
