Haley Willis is an award-winning reporter and producer with The New York Times's Visual Investigations team, which combines traditional reporting with digital and open source methods to break news and hold the powerful to account. She has covered forced labor in China, police brutality in Hong Kong and India, and humanitarian crises in Syria, Myanmar and Mozambique. She co-produced "Day of Rage," the most complete picture to date of what happened during the January 6 riot at the United States Capitol and "El Chapo's Son: The Siege of Culiacán," an episode of the Times documentary series The Weekly. Prior to joining The Times in 2019, Haley worked as a researcher with the Human Rights Center at Berkeley Law and Amnesty International's Digital Verification Corps. She also freelanced for the investigative collective Bellingcat, documenting airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen.
Some of her most recent work has focused on police killings during traffic stops, civilian casualties from the U.S. air war in the Middle East, Russian atrocities in Ukraine, and Israel's use of 2,000-pound bombs in Gaza. This and other work has been recognized with a number of awards, including four Pulitzer Prizes, four George Polk Awards, a News Emmy Award and a Peabody Award.
