About

I’m an old-school journalist who has learned to stop worrying and love digital. I have edited and managed online coverage at CNN, NBC News, Politico and FiveThirtyEight after spending a dozen years at newspapers. My writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal. I served as the Washington bureau chief of The Jerusalem Post and the Israel correspondent for Marketplace radio. I have appeared as a TV analyst on ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CSPAN, CBC and Al Jazeera. As an editor driving opinion content, breaking news and enterprise coverage at major websites, I have mastered the art of boosting traffic, using multimedia storytelling and fostering organization-wide collaboration while still emphasizing accuracy, fairness and excellence. As a news and features reporter, I have bashed out stories in bomb shelters and live-tweeted political conventions. I spent five years in Israel, a decade in Washington and have filed from 20 US states and 20 countries throughout Asia, Africa, Europe and South America. I have covered presidential campaigns, Congress, the White House, foreign policy, national security, identity politics, immigration, poverty, religion and the Olympics. I am driven by journalism that explores the intersection of human experience and political power, and I am particularly focused on examining that dynamic in arenas such as urban policy, work-life matters and social issues including criminal justice and education. I try to tell these stories as both a reporter and editor in multidimensional ways that harness the reach of digital. I got my start in journalism on my high school paper at the age of 12 and learned Journalism 101 as the editor-in-chief of The Cornell Daily Sun. I grew up in Boston, have resided in five capital cities and am a life-long member of Red Sox Nation.
