Clyde Haberman (born 1945) is an American journalist who is currently a columnist for The New York Times. He has worked for the Times since 1977. Haberman's assignments at the Times have included staff editor of the Week in Review section; Metro reporter; City Hall bureau chief; and, from 1982 to 1995, foreign correspondent in Tokyo, Rome and Jerusalem. He has covered such major events as the Attica prison rebellion in 1971, the fall of Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines in 1986, South Korea's pro-democracy uprising in 1987, the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe in 1989, the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and 1991 Persian Gulf War, the 1993 Oslo accords between Israel and the Palestinians, the rise of Islamic terrorism in the Middle East and the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

He has been writing NYC, a twice-a-week column on New York, since 1995. In 2009 he was part of a Times team that won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News, awarded for coverage of the prostitution scandal that led to Eliot Spitzer's resignation as New York governor. In his April 8, 2011, column, entitled "One Last Attempt to Explain New York City", he announced that it would be his last NYC column.[1] In May, 2011, he began writing a column called "The Day" for the New York Times online "City Room" blog.[2]
