50 Most Influential Jews

  1. MAGGIE HABERMAN

 

Few Washington journalists have their pulse on the Trump administration quite like Maggie Haberman, a veteran of Donald Trump’s New York tabloid world and of Politico, a media organization that helped reshape political reporting for an age without meaningful news cycles. Now with The New York Times, Haberman is helping readers get into the heads of a temperamental president and the West Wing aides trying to keep him under control.

 

Her reporting style is unusually analytic for the Times, but perhaps demanded by the times on which she reports. Donald Trump, Haberman often says, is not a normal president and requires some explaining from those who cover him. Her approach attracts criticism that – in explaining Trump – she is justifying or excusing his worst behavior. But it has also earned her the trust of sources, professional acclaim and a Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for her team’s coverage of links between Trump’s orbit and the Russian government.
