Sewell Chan is an American journalist who has written for The New York Times since 2004. In January 2010, he became a Washington correspondent covering economic policy. From 2007 to 2009, he was the founding bureau chief of City Room , the newspaper's local news blog.

Chan is a member of the National Advisory Board of the Poynter Institute and has been honored with a Rosalynn Carter Fellowship for Mental Health Journalism.


Chan, the son of immigrants from China and Hong Kong, grew up in Flushing, Queens and attended New York City public schools and Hunter College High School. His father is a taxi cab driver. He graduated from Harvard College in 1998 and won a Marshall Scholarship for graduate study at Oxford University.

From 2000 to 2004, Chan wrote for The Washington Post, where he covered municipal politics, poverty and social services, and education. He was the author of a four-part investigative series about the treatment of juvenile delinquents in the District of Columbia, and won praise from the Society for American Archivists for his investigation into conditions at the District of Columbia Archives. He also covered the conflict in Iraq for the Post's Baghdad bureau.

After moving to The New York Times in 2004, Chan developed a reputation as a highly prolific reporter. He reported on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the 2005 transit strike, and the 2008 papal visit of Benedict XVI.
