The Boston Globe has hired Andrew Brinker to be a business reporter covering housing.

He will also cover the cost of living in Boston.

He previously worked as a business intern, a weekend correspondent for the metro section, and as a co-op on the Express Desk. He has been the paper’s lead reporter on Massachusetts’ ambitious new multifamily housing law, dissected complex policy questions, and highlighted communities that are loath to build more housing.

Brinker graduated from Emerson College in 2022. He is from Western Pennsylvania.
