Confirmed: Nate Silver does work out of the New York Times newsroom at times
New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan wrote on Thursday: “Mr. Silver also has a desk in The Times’s newsroom.” This tweet from a Times reporter followed:
@sulliview yes, @fivethirtyeight has a desk in the newsroom — but I’ve never seen him at it.

After seeing the tweet, I asked Stephanie Strom if she’d take a picture of Nate Silver’s empty newsroom desk. She agreed to it, and sent her photo and a note this morning with the subject line: “Whaddayaknow????” She writes: “Walked over to take a photo of Nate’s desk — and he was sitting at it, eating his lunch! Here’s a shot of him, making a liar out of me.”
