Caitlin McCormack
Caitlin McCormack is a general assignment reporter for the New York Post who covers fast-turn news and entertainment with a particular focus on crime, public safety and emotionally driven human stories. Her work moves quickly between breaking incidents, viral moments and sports- and celebrity-adjacent narratives, often centering the people caught up in those events rather than only the headlines. She writes in a direct, concise style that foregrounds concrete detail, law-enforcement information and vivid scene-setting.
Crime and high-profile public safety incidents
McCormack repeatedly covers violent and high-profile incidents, especially those that involve political figures, law enforcement and large public events.
Her reporting on the suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting details the alleged gunman’s online history, the stated intent behind the attack and the volume of social media posts leading up to the event, reflecting her focus on how digital behavior intersects with real-world violence. In coverage of a woman fatally shot by an ICE agent, she tracks the identification of the victim and the official response, balancing institutional timelines with personal details about the people involved.
She also contributes to stories on shootings along the West Indian Day Parade route, documenting the number of victims, their expected recovery and the tension between large-scale celebration and heightened police presence. Across these pieces, she emphasizes chronology, motive and official comment, giving readers a clear account of how such crises unfold.
Urban transit and viral incidents
Another strand of McCormack’s work focuses on New York’s transit system and the kinds of incidents that quickly generate video and social media attention. In her reporting on a subway conductor who is punched and robbed of train keys, she zeroes in on the mechanics of the attack, the impact on service and the details of the suspect’s actions, framing the crime in terms of both worker safety and system vulnerability. A separate story on a suspected fare-beating rider caught in a new MTA turnstile gate uses the language of “wild video” and describes the footage in close detail, underscoring her comfort writing at the intersection of local infrastructure and viral internet content.
These pieces tend to be tightly written, built around specific incidents, and they show her interest in how everyday city systems and new technology can fail or be tested in public view.
Human-interest reporting on missing and grieving families
McCormack often frames hard news through the experiences of families and friends, using human-interest angles to give weight to otherwise procedural stories. In coverage of the Guthrie family’s missing matriarch, she highlights a chef at the family’s favorite Tucson restaurant who speaks about the woman’s character and her impact on those around her, turning a disappearance case into a portrait of relationships and community routines disrupted. Her entertainment-side work includes stories such as Tyrese Haliburton’s bride-to-be sharing a tribute after the death of a friend on a bachelorette trip, where she focuses on grief, loyalty and the emotional fallout of sudden tragedy rather than only the celebrity’s profile.
Taken together, these pieces show a consistent interest in voices close to the event - friends, colleagues, local figures - and in how they articulate loss, fear or affection when lives change abruptly.
Beat breadth across US news and entertainment
Although her inputs identify entertainment as a core beat, McCormack’s bylines span crime, transit, national news and sports-tinged city culture, reflecting a broad general assignment role at the New York Post.
Her author page includes work such as coverage of the Post’s front page after a historic Knicks win, treating the layout as a piece of fan culture and city identity, which sits alongside her harder-edged news reports. Across US news stories and entertainment-adjacent pieces, she writes with the same emphasis on clear timelines, strong headlines and vivid, accessible language.
This range makes her a consistent presence on stories that combine immediacy - a shooting, a viral clip, a missing person - with a recognisable human or pop-cultural hook.
