Hi! I'm Stuart.

I’m a reporter at The New York Times covering the internet, influence operations and artificial intelligence. In 2026, I’m going to spend a lot of my time reporting on the midterm elections with the politics team.

As a visual journalist, I try to use all the tools in my toolbox, including programming, data analysis/visualization and design.

I was part of a large team at The Wall Street Journal that won a Pulitzer Prize for “Medicare Unmasked.” I was named a Pulitzer Prize finalist for an Opinion series on domestic violence. In 2020, I was a finalist for the Livingston Awards for “Excellence in National Reporting” for a series I wrote about smartphone tracking.

Previously, I was the head of visual journalism for The New York Times Opinion, where I created a new team focusing on visual opinionizing. Before that, I was the graphics director at The Wall Street Journal, leading a team of 30. My career began at The Globe and Mail in Toronto.
