David Von Drehle
Award-winning journalist David Von Drehle is an editor-at-large for Time magazine, where his recent cover stories have analyzed the presidential election, the Supreme Court and the condition of boys in today's society. Before joining Time, he spent 15 years at The Washington Post in a number of senior writing and editing roles, from New York Bureau Chief to Assistant Managing Editor. “His reporting is a search,” say the authors of “America’s Best Newspaper Writing,” “not only for quotes and details, but for meaning.”
Von Drehle is a graduate of the University of Denver, which awarded him its Ammi Hyde Award for Outstanding Achievement by a Young Alumnus, and earned a Master of Letters degree from Oxford University as a Marshall Scholar. He is a winner of the Livingston Award for national reporting, the American Society of Newspaper Editors Distinguished Writing prize, the American Bar Association’s Silver Gavel Award, the Sidney Hillman Foundation Prize. He lectures widely on writing and current affairs, with appearances at Stanford, Princeton, Northwestern, Georgetown and other leading colleges and universities. He has appeared on the Today show, NBC Nightly News, the NewsHour, NPR’s Morning Edition and “Imus in the Morning,” and is currently serving as an expert script consultant for an upcoming HBO film.
