Jeffrey Goldberg
Jeffrey Mark Goldberg (born 1965) is an American journalist who is the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. During his nine years at The Atlantic before becoming editor, Goldberg became known for his coverage of foreign affairs. He moderated the PBS program Washington Week (rebranded as Washington Week with The Atlantic) beginning in August 2023, while continuing as The Atlantic's editor.
Jeffrey Mark Goldberg was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Ellen and Daniel Goldberg. His grandfather was from the shtetl of Leova, Moldova. He grew up in suburban Malverne on Long Island, a predominately Catholic neighborhood he once called "a wasteland of Irish pogromists." Goldberg attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he was the executive editor of The Daily Pennsylvanian. At Penn he worked at the Hillel kitchen serving lunch to students.
Goldberg, who is Jewish, dropped out of college and worked for a time at The Washington Post. He then moved to Israel and served in the Israel Defense Forces during the First Intifada as a prison guard at Ktzi'ot Prison, where Palestinian participants arrested in the uprising were held. There he met Rafiq Hijazi, a Palestine Liberation Organization leader, college math teacher, and devout Muslim from a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, whom Goldberg called "the only Palestinian I could find in Ketziot who understood the moral justification for Zionism".
Many years after his first trip to Israel as a 13-year-old, he became a dual Israeli citizen. Goldberg recalled the sense of empowerment he felt Israel embodied. In a 2013 interview with the Washingtonian, he said he had decided to give up his Israeli citizenship, saying that "If Israel goes much further down the road I think it’s on and becomes more of a theocratic, totalitarian-style state [...] how could the liberal-minded American Jew support that?"
Goldberg returned to the United States and began his career as a reporter at The Washington Post, where he worked the police beat. While in Israel, he worked as a columnist for The Jerusalem Post. Upon his return to the U.S., he was the New York bureau chief of The Forward, a contributing editor at New York magazine, and a contributing writer at The New York Times Magazine. In 2000, Goldberg joined The New Yorker.
In 2003, "In the Party of God" won the National Magazine Award for reporting.
In 2007, David G. Bradley hired Goldberg to write for The Atlantic. Bradley had tried for nearly two years to convince him to work for The Atlantic, and was finally successful after renting ponies for Goldberg's children.
During his time at The Atlantic, Goldberg has conducted interviews with Barack Obama (five times), Fidel Castro, Hillary Clinton, David Cameron, John Kerry, Benjamin Netanyahu, Isaac Herzog, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Ashton Carter, Ben Rhodes, Yair Lapid, Michael Oren, King Abdullah of Jordan, Ta-Nehisi Coates, David Gregory, and Tom Cotton.
