Co-host of The Daily from The New York Times. Formerly the paper's Mexico City bureau chief. Eagles fan.
Natalie Kitroeff is a co-host of The Daily, the New York Times' flagship news podcast. She joined the show in June 2025 alongside Michael Barbaro and Rachel Abrams. Before that, she spent about five years as the Times' bureau chief in Mexico City, covering Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
Her reporting has taken her all over Latin America — from fentanyl labs in Sinaloa to the streets of Port-au-Prince after the assassination of Haiti's president. She was part of the Times team whose Haiti coverage won a George Polk Award and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for international reporting. Earlier, she worked on the paper's investigation into the Boeing 737 Max, which won a Gerald Loeb Award and became a PBS Frontline documentary.
