Beginning this week, Margaret Sullivan, one of America’s leading journalists and media commentators, will join the Guardian US to write a weekly column on media, politics, culture and the urgent moral and political debates of the moment.
Sullivan, an award-winning writer known for her trenchant, deeply insightful columns on media and culture, joins the Guardian after concluding a 6-year stint at the Washington Post, where she was a media columnist from 2016 to 2022. Prior to that, she served as the public editor of the New York Times, and as chief editor of the Buffalo News, her hometown paper. She is also author of the acclaimed book “Ghosting the News: Local Journalism and the Crisis of American Democracy,” and the recently published memoir “Newsroom Confidential: Lessons (and Worries) from an Ink-Stained Life.” She teaches in the public policy school at Duke University where she is the Egan visiting professor for 2023.
