David Gonzalez is an award-winning journalist at The New York Times. Among other posts, he has been the Times Bronx Bureau Chief, the "About New York" Columnist, and the Central America and Caribbean Bureau Chief. His coverage has ranged from the Oklahoma city bombing and Haiti’s humanitarian crises, to chronicling how the Bronx emerged from years of official neglect, to in-depth reports on how Latino immigration is shaping the United States.
In addition to his print reporting, Gonzalez is a photographer and the co-editor of the Times Lens Blog, which has become the premier internet site for photojournalists from around the world.
Gonzalez was born in the South Bronx of New York City. His parents Pedro and Lillian Gonzalez came to New York from Puerto Rico as teenagers, and Gonzalez received a Catholic School education: first at Saint Athanasius and Saint Martin of Tours grammar schools, then at Cardinal Hayes High School, where he was on the track team for four years. He also published his first article in the school’s student newspaper,The Challenger.
At Cardinal Hayes, an English teacher named Bill Kerrigan and Father Jeremiah Monahan were strong and early influences in Gonzalez's development as a writer. Over the years, Gonzalez maintained a lifelong friendship with Father Monahan, until his passing in 1999.
Gonzalez graduated from Yale in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and obtained a master’s degree in journalism from the Columbia University School of Journalism in 1983.
