Harvard graduate, award-winning columnist and television analyst, Jonathan Alter has served as NEWSWEEK Senior Editor for nearly two decades, examining politics, media, social, and global issues in his widely acclaimed column. For more than a decade, he has worked as a contributing correspondent to NBC News. He is the originator and author of the weekly "Conventional Wisdom Watch" that uses up, down, and sideways arrows to measure and lampoon the news. As editor, he helps shape the magazine's overall news coverage. The 2008 campaign marks the seventh election Alter has covered for NEWSWEEK. He frequently interviews American presidents and other world leaders, regularly breaks news and has authored more than 50 NEWSWEEK cover stories. Beyond politics and media, he has written extensively about terrorism, anti-Semitism, at-risk children, national service and a wide variety of other issues. His 2006 book, THE DEFINING MOMENT: FDR's HUNDRED DAYS AND THE TRIUMPH OF HOPE, was a national bestseller. His latest release, BETWEEN THE LINES: A VIEW INSIDE AMERICAN POLITICS, PEOPLE, AND CULTURE, is a collection of his NEWSWEEK articles chronicling the last quarter-century of American political history. Known for his insight, wit, and first-hand anecdotes, Alter's presentation will offer an incisive, entertaining, and compelling view of national and world affairs.
