Andrew Sullivan Joins New York Magazine As Contributing Editor

Source: New York Magazine

New York Magazine editor-in-chief Adam Moss announced today that writer Andrew Sullivan is joining the magazine as a contributing editor covering politics and the larger culture. He will write features throughout the year, and cover the 2016 Democratic and Republican National Conventions. He begins his new role today.

“I have had the privilege of working with Andrew from the beginning of his career (mine too). He is a major (deep and elegant) thinker and writer whose work has had tangible consequence, and he has written some of the more influential essays I have ever had the honor to publish. He also happens to be a true innovator―one of the first and best political writers online,” says Moss. “Since he stepped away from his blog in 2015, his voice has been greatly missed in our national dialogue. I’m grateful that he will return to writing at New York.”

Sullivan began his pioneering blog the Daily Dish in 2000, eventually hosting it at publications including Time, The Atlantic, and the Daily Beast before launching the Dish as an independent, subscriber-funded website in early 2013. In January 2015, he announced his decision to close the site and retire from daily blogging.

Sullivan was editor of The New Republic from 1991 to 1996, and a writer for The New York Times Magazine from 1996 to 2002. He is the author of several books, including The Conservative Soul and Virtually Normal. A graduate of Oxford University, he received an MPA and PhD from Harvard University.

I don't know what tune he'll be whistling this time around. I'll pay attention for a while.
