Robert Jerson

Robert Jerson likes to find the story inside the story. Give him a stack of filings, a half-deleted tweet, and a late-night whistleblower email, and he’ll map the connections before sunrise. A decade in data-driven journalism taught him that headlines rarely show the whole picture, so he follows the footnotes, cross-checks the numbers, and calls the people left out of the press release. His investigations dig into national politics, media ethics, and the digital sleights of hand that shape what we believe. Robert writes for readers who want more than a quick click—he writes so you can see the levers being pulled and decide what you think for yourself.
