Lisa Miller

Before coming to The Times, I wrote about religion at Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal and about social issues — mental health, guns, parenting, crime, education — for New York magazine. I value truth-telling above all, no matter how uncomfortable or unpopular it may be, and I am grateful to the people who decide to talk to me and tell our readers about the hardest and most intimate episodes of their lives. As a reporter I am straightforward, and when speaking with sources and subjects I try to be constantly mindful that trust is earned, not given.
