Title: Gross to write Newsweek column
Posted By: Jim Romenesko
 
To: The Staff
From: [Newsweek editor] Jon Meacham

I am delighted to announce that Daniel Gross will be joining Newsweek on July 1 as a business columnist for the print edition of the magazine and for Newsweek.com. Almost scarily prolific, Dan will also continue writing for our friends at Slate, our Washington Post Company sibling; I am grateful to David Plotz (Slate’s acting editor while Jacob Weisberg is on book leave) for helping craft this joint appointment. Readers on all three platforms will be the winners.

Dan will write a biweekly column for the print edition of the magazine, additional pieces for our website and for Slate each week, and will contribute longer articles from time to time. He will also create a blog on Newsweek.com.

It is unclear to me when Dan sleeps. The Moneybox columnist for Slate since 2002, he has also contributed to the "Economic View" column in the Sunday New York Times for the past four years, and he wrote for magazines such as New York and Wired. After working as a reporter/researcher at The New Republic from 1989-1990, he studied American history at Harvard University, from which he received an A.M. in 1991. The next year he moved to New York, working first for Bloomberg News and then as an independent reporter and writer. He has written articles, book reviews, features, and columns for more than 60 publications, including: New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, New York, Fortune, New York Observer, American Prospect, and Washington Monthly. Since 1999, Dan has also edited STERNbusiness, the semi-annual journal published by New York University’s Stern School of Business. A frequent television and radio commentator, Dan is also the author of four books, the latest of which is this year’s “Pop! Why Bubbles Are Great for the Economy.”

A native of East Lansing, Michigan, Dan is a magna cum laude graduate of Cornell University, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He now lives in Westport with his wife, Candice Savin, who is an attorney, and two children.

Please join me in welcoming Dan to Newsweek.
