Jonah Goldberg
Jonah Goldberg is editor-at-large of the award-winning web magazine National Review Online (NRO). Mr. Goldberg was the founding editor of NRO, which is widely considered the leading conservative online magazine. He is also a contributing editor to the print magazine, The National Review. His widely popular column, “The Goldberg File” prompted The Stanford Review to declare Goldberg “The man who made conservatism hip.”
Goldberg also writes a nationally syndicated column which appears in The San Francisco Chronicle, The Cincinnati Enquirer, The Arizona Republic, The Orlando Sentinel, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Washington Times, The Manchester Union Leader, The Kansas City Star and other newspapers. He is the media critic for The American Enterprise magazine and a former columnist for and contributing editor to Brill’s Content.
Mr. Goldberg is a CNN commentator and regular panelist on “Late Edition With Wolf Blitzer” and “American Morning.” He is an occasional guest-host on “Crossfire” and has appeared on numerous television and radio programs including Nightline, Good Morning America, the Today Show, Hardball with Chris Matthews, NPR’s All Things Considered, Larry King Live, Politically Incorrect and the NBC Nightly News.
Under his editorship of National Review Online, NRO rapidly became one of the dominant players in web journalism, earning high praise from, among others, the Columbia Journalism Review, Vanity Fair, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Christian Science Monitor. The New York Press concluded that National Review Online is “by far the best political online operation going today.”
During the 2000 Republican and Democratic Conventions, Camille Paglia wrote in Salon magazine: “Considering how many thousands of journalists were credentialed by the Republican and Democratic conventions, the quality of American reportage was abysmal. The American media have turned into a schmoozing herd of sappy clones, rarely deviating from the cocktail-hour party line lest they compromise their future job prospects. In my opinion, top honors for political commentary this summer unquestionably go to Jonah Goldberg, online editor of National Review. His deftly written pieces were always fresh, smart, independent and often scathingly funny.” Andrew Sullivan has written, “I love reading Jonah Goldberg. He writes like an angel after a couple of bourbons.”
Jonah Goldberg is a former television producer who has credits in a wide range of productions. He was the Senior Producer of Think Tank with Ben Wattenberg, the award-winning public affairs program and he has written and produced two PBS documentaries.
