Ross Douthat Biography

Ross Douthat, the youngest ever Op-Ed Columnist for The New York Times, brings a fresh, youthful, conservative viewpoint to the paper's editorial pages. He is renowned for his thought-provoking and incisive analysis of domestic and international politics, infusing new energy into the otherwise predictable world of op-eds. He displays a remarkable versatility, capable of exploring the social ramifications of Judd Apatow's comedic films just as effortlessly as he delves into the intricacies of current healthcare reform initiatives. This astute commentary and broad perspective have led some to compare him to another prominent Times commentator, Thomas Friedman. His most recent publication, "Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics," highlights his brilliance as he charts the decline of institutional Christianity from a mainstream, bipartisan faith to the divisive debates of today. He received recognition for his previous book, "Privilege: Harvard and the Education of the Ruling Class," which harshly criticized the university as a center of privilege and complacency. In collaboration with Reihan Salam, he co-wrote "Grand New Party: How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream," a highly acclaimed work that presents a reasonable, moderate conservative solution for America's social problems and rejuvenating the Republican Party in the Obama era. Previously, Ross served as a senior editor and blogger at The Atlantic, where he wrote about higher education, national politics, and famous religious conversions. He continues to expand his digital presence through his active blog, "The Conversation," on Times.com, which he writes in partnership with Gail Collins of the Times. His writing gives new meaning and attracts new followers to the conservative movement in 21st-century America. Ross is celebrated for his eloquence, depth of thought, and insightful commentary, illuminating a wide range of topics, including the Iraq War, abortion, healthcare, Sarah Palin, Republicans, Democrats, liberals, conservatives, and America's evolving global role.
