Jacob Weisberg Biography

Jacob Weisberg is one of America's most prominent writers on politics and policy and a successful pioneer in online publishing.

He is Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of The Slate Group, a new division of The Washington Post Company tasked with developing a family of Internet-based publications through start-ups and acquisitions. The flagship publication is Slate magazine.

While serving as Slates Editor (2002-2008), Jacob saw the online magazine turn a profit. He greatly expanded its content, broadened its advertising base, launched several new initiates and in 2008, Slate won a National Magazine Award for General Excellence Online.

He currently is overseeing the launch of The Big Money (launched in September 2008), a new website dedicated to economic analysis and commentary with user tools that will take readers beyond simple coverage of business news.

Jacob is the author of several books, including "The Bush Tragedy," which was a New York Times bestseller in 2008, and the Bushisms series. With former Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin, he co-wrote "In an Uncertain World," which was published in 2003. His first book, "In Defense of Government," was published in 1996.

Jacob joined Slate shortly after its founding in 1996 as Chief Political Correspondent, at a time when you still had to explain the Internet to some people, let alone the idea of an Internet magazine. Previously, he worked as a writer and editor at The New Republic and covered politics for New York Magazine.

Jacob writes a bi-weekly column for Newsweek magazine. He has also been a Contributing Writer for The New York Times Magazine, a contributing editor of Vanity Fair and a reporter for Newsweek in London and Washington, as well as a weekly editorial-page columnist for the Financial Times.

He is a frequent commentator on National Public Radio.
