Hi there. I’m Lydia.

I’m a reporter at the non-profit news organization ProPublica covering trade and economic policy in the Trump administration. In previous lives, I’ve worked as an economy reporter at CNN Business and at the Houston Chronicle, a business reporter at the Washington Post, a technology writer at The New Republic, and a real estate blogger and columnist at the Washington City Paper. Before that, I went to Columbia College in New York City, where I spent most of my time blogging. I’ve also written for the New York Observer, Pacific Standard, Slate, and various trade publications; and I’ve appeared on a wide variety of radio and television stations.

This website is mostly a repository for my stuff, which you can find on the other page. You can email me at lydia.depillis@gmail.com. Thanks for visiting.
