Katie Thomas
Program: Fall 2006
katiethomas76@hotmail.com

Katie Thomas joined the New York Times as sports reporter in 2008. Prior to joining the Times she was a general-assignment reporter for Newsday, where she covered a range of topics, including local towns, courts, state government, and growth on Long Island's East End. Thomas has worked on several award-winning projects, including two investigative series -- one examining the influence of politics in the selection of Long Island judges, and another that uncovered cronyism and waste in Suffolk County's nationally-recognized land preservation program. She has covered several major news events, including the terrorist attacks of September 11, the blackout of 2003, and Hurricane Katrina. Thomas is the author of the recently released book Waters Dark and Deep, an account of one New Orleans family's rescue and reunification after Hurricane Katrina.
