Career
When Peters was in his senior year at the University of Michigan he was a reporter and editor for The Michigan Daily and began contributing to The New York Times as a freelancer. He then worked for two years in the Virgin Islands for The Virgin Islands Daily News before returning to the Times as a reporter for the business and national desks based in Detroit.[7][8] His beats at the Times have included breaking financial news, the media and New York politics. In 2009, while assigned to the Albany bureau, he was part of the team that won the Pulitzer Prize for breaking news,[9] for its coverage of the sex scandal that resulted in the resignation of Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
His coverage of the Republican Party and the conservative movement for The Times became the basis for his book, Insurgency, which the Crown Publishing Group acquired in 2017.[8] Peters was one of several Times journalists featured in the 2018 Showtime documentary, The Fourth Estate.[10]
Personal life
Peters grew up in the Detroit suburbs and graduated from Brother Rice High School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He currently lives in Manhattan with his partner, Brendan Camp,[11] a dermatologist and amateur photographer whose work has been published alongside some of Peters' articles for the Times travel section.[12]
