Jennifer Elizabeth Steinhauer (born February 16, 1969)[1][2] is an American reporter for The New York Times who has covered the United States Congress since February 2010.[3][4] She joined The Times in 1989 in New York where she was City Hall Bureau Chief[4] and later moved to Los Angeles where she was the Los Angeles Bureau Chief.[3]

In February 2010, Steinhauer moved to Washington D.C., to become a Congressional Reporter for The New York Times.[4]

She co-authored a novel, Beverly Hills Adjacent with Jessica Hendra.[4]

Early years and career

[edit]

Steinhauer was born on February 16, 1969[1][2] in southwestern Michigan. She is the daughter of Joel Steinhauer, who worked as a union representative for the Michigan Education Association, and Lynn Steinhauer, who is a licensed social worker.[5]

Steinhauer attended the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York, where she studied journalism, eventually graduating with a BFA in Communication Arts in 1990.[6] In 1989, she began working as a copy girl for The New York Times, while she was still a student at SVA.

Personal life

[edit]

Until 2015, Steinhauer was married to fellow Times writer Ed Wyatt;[5][7] the couple have two daughters. Steinhauer currently lives in the American University Park neighbourhood of Washington, D.C.,[7] with her partner and Times journalist, Jonathan Weisman, along with their 4 daughters (both Steinhauer and Weisman had 2 children from a previous marriage).[8][9]

Steinhauer was the daughter of an interfaith couple (her father practiced Christianity, while her mother practiced Judaism) and ultimately chose to practice Judaism.[10] Her marriage to Ed Wyatt was performed by Rabbi Judith Lewis In New York.[5]

Steinhauer, herself a graduate of an art school, has suggested that the need for a degree from an elite college (or a college degree at all) is overstated. She has often tweeted the work of her Times colleague and cookbook co-author, Frank Bruni, who has published a number of pieces on the subject.

Awards

[edit]

In 2006, Steinhauer won the Newswomen's Club of New York Front Page Deadline Reporting Award for her work on Hurricane Katrina.[4]
