Bruni earned a master’s degree in journalism with highest honors from Columbia University and started his career at the New York Post. He moved to the Detroit Free Press in 1990 where, in 1992, he became a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his profile of a child molester. Bruni joined The New York Times in 1995, where he served as a White House correspondent covering George W. Bush. He became a restaurant critic before The Times named him an op-ed writer in 2011. He left his official post at The Times in 2021 to accept an endowed chair in journalism at Duke University. He continues to write for The Times and contributes to CNN.
