[9] Haberman worked for the Post's rival newspaper, the New York Daily News, for three and a half years in the early 2000s,[9] where she continued to cover City Hall.

[13] Her reporting style as a member of the White House staff of the Times features in the Liz Garbus documentary series The Fourth Estate.

[14] According to an analysis by British digital strategist Rob Blackie, Haberman was one of the most commonly followed political writers among Biden administration staff on Twitter.

Haberman and The New York Times disproportionately covered Hillary Clinton's email controversy with many more articles critical of her than of the numerous scandals involving her competitor Donald Trump, including his sexual misconduct allegations,[20][21] with Taylor Link writing: "The NYT's White House reporter calls the Clinton campaign liars, but was hesitant to use that word with Trump.
