Project Description
Rick Berke, executive editor, oversees STAT’s editorial team. He was previously a longtime reporter and editor at The New York Times, where he served as White House correspondent, chief political correspondent, Washington editor, national editor, video content editor, and assistant managing editor. More recently, Rick was executive editor at Politico. Before he turned to chasing politicians, Rick’s first major investigative series, for the Baltimore Evening Sun and Regardie’s magazine, was a deep look at the science, history, onetime glamor, discoveries, and tax dodges behind the Howard Hughes Medical Institute ⎯ and its eccentric founder.
