Caitlin V. Doornbos is an American political journalist for The New York Post, and former Pentagon and Asia-Pacific correspondent for the U.S. military newspaper Stars and Stripes.[1] Previously, Doornbos served as a breaking news reporter for the Orlando Sentinel.[2]
Early Life
Doornbos graduated from Hutchinson High School[3] in Hutchinson, KS, and from the University of Kansas with a Bachelor's degree in Journalism.[4]
She also has a Master of Defense and Strategic Studies from the University of Texas at El Paso.[5]
New York Post
Doornbos joined the New York Post as a Washington, D.C. correspondent on the newspaper's national politics team in 2022. She covers the White House, Congress and the executive branch agencies, specializing in defense and foreign affairs issues.[1]
In July 2023, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre chastised Doornbos for asking during a press briefing if she could "say once and for all" whether cocaine found in the West Wing a week prior had "belonged to the Biden Family."[6]
Jean Pierre called Doornbos "incredibly irresponsible" for asking the question. The press secretary's reaction drew heavy criticism among conservatives,[7] with Fox News commentators claiming the press secretary deflected the question and lapsed in her duty to respond to scrutiny.
Stars and Stripes
Doornbos joined Stars and Stripes in Yokosuka, Japan in 2018 as the Asia-Pacific correspondent covering the Navy from Yokosuka Naval Base.[8]
In 2021, she became the military newspaper's Pentagon reporter, serving as the military newspaper's sole correspondent at Defense Department headquarters in Washington, D.C. There, she covered the end of the US war in Afghanistan and the August 2021 US evacuation mission from Kabul.[9]
Orlando Sentinel
In 2016, Doornbos joined the Orlando Sentinel's breaking news team, which placed as a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in Breaking News Reporting "for coverage of the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub, including ... subsequent work that took readers inside the club and humanized the victims."[10]
Lawrence Journal-World
After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism from the University of Kansas, Doornbos worked as the Public Safety reporter for the Lawrence Journal-World in Lawrence, Kansas. There, she launched the "Lights & Sirens" public safety column.[11]
Doornbos covered several high-profile murder cases for the Lawrence Journal-World, including the 2014 near beheading of Harold Sasko by his 19-year-old female roommate later featured on Oxygen's "Snapped" television series.[12][13]
