Dan Clark, previously the host and producer of WMHT’s “New York Now,” has joined the Times Union, a newspaper that covers the Albany region of New York State. 

In addition to serving as a reporter, Clark will be the primary creator of a revamped Capitol Confidential newsletter. 

“Building on the work of our hard-charging statehouse and investigations team, we believe the Capitol Confidential newsletter is going to be a necessary part of the morning for insiders as well as anyone who wants to keep up with government and politics — especially in what’s sure to be a roller-coaster year,” says Times Union editor Casey Seiler.

Clark joined WMHT, which airs statewide on most PBS stations, in January 2020 as the host and managing producer of “New York Now.” He was praised for keeping the news program on air throughout the pandemic.  

Previously, Clark served as producer and reporter for the program Capital’s Tonight’s blog, as a Capitol-based reporter for PolitiFact and the Buffalo News, and as the one-man statehouse bureau for the New York Law Journal.
