Jonah Goldberg

Né(e): March 21, 1969 – New York City, New York, United States

Jonah Goldberg is an American conservative columnist, political commentator, and author whose work focuses on U.S. politics, ideology, and the history of liberal democracy. He is best known for Liberal Fascism and Suicide of the West, and for co-founding The Dispatch after a long tenure at National Review.

Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur

Jonah Goldberg was born in New York City in 1969 and studied political science at Goucher College, where he belonged to one of the first male cohorts after the school began admitting men. After college, he taught English in Czechoslovakia, then moved into Washington media and policy work through the American Enterprise Institute and Ben Wattenberg’s PBS orbit. Those early jobs gave him experience in research, production, and public argument, but the decisive turn came in 1998, when National Review asked him to help build its web presence. As the founding editor of National Review Online, Goldberg became an early example of a conservative writer who treated the internet not as an afterthought to print, but as a primary arena for commentary and audience-building.
