About the Author
Carl Campanile is a veteran journalist with the New York Post, principally covering government and politics. Before coming to the Post in 1998, he worked at The Staten Island Advance and the Paterson News and Herald News in New Jersey. A graduate of St. John's University, he first learned the craft as a researcher for the great muckraker Wayne Barrett of the Village Voice. Campanile first reported on a massive federal bid-rigging probe that led to convictions of associates of former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo and was part of a team that exposed a lack of safety gear for hospital workers during the COVID-19 outbreak. Campanile has received awards from the NY Press Club and New Jersey Press Association. A sports fan, Campanile avidly follows his beloved Mets baseball team. He loves the outdoors, music, a nice glass of wine and spending time with his son, Casey, and friends.
