Mark Landler is London bureau chief of the New York Times. Educated at Georgetown University, he joined the Times as a \u2018copy boy\u2019 in 1987 before moving to Business Week. He returned in 1995 covering the finance beat, then headed the bureaux in Hong Kong, Frankfurt and Washington DC. In 2011, he became White House correspondent, covering the Obama and Trump administrations, before moving to London as bureau chief in 2019. A regular panellist on \u2018Washington Week\u2019 and \u2018Face the Nation\u2019, his 2016 book \u2018Alter Egos\u2019 shone a light on the fraught relationship between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. In this in-depth interview, he describes covering Brexit Britain from the perspective of an outsider, argues that the polarising rise of Trump has given the Times a sharper focus and identity, and shares his adventures writing \u201call the news that\u2019s fit to print\u201d for 27 years - across 70 countries.
