Richard Reeves
Richard Reeves is an author and syndicated columnist whose
weekly column has appeared since 1979 in over 100
newspapers, and is read around the world. He has received a
number of awards for his work in print, television and
film, and for his contributions to journalism. Richard Reeves began his career in journalism at age 23,
founding the Phillipsburg Free Press in Phillipsburg, New
Jersey. Working his way up, he became Chief Political
Correspondent of The New York Times, writing for numerous
publications and becoming National Editor and Columnist for
Esquire and New York Magazine along the way. Named
a "literary lion" by the New York Public Library, Reeves
has won a number of print journalism awards and has been a
Pulitzer Prize finalist and juror. In 1975, Reeves made the leap from newspaper to books with
the publication of A Ford, not a Lincoln. His President
Kennedy: Profile of Power is now considered the
authoritative work on the 35th president, has won several
national awards and was named the Best Non-Fiction Book of
1993 by Time and Book of the Year by Washington Monthly. Reeves has also worked extensively on television and in
film, as a panelist for "We Interrupt this Week", and Chief
Correspondent on "Frontline". He has made six television
films and won all of television's major documentary awards:
the Emmy for "Lights, Camera . . . Politics!" for ABC News;
the Columbia-DuPont Award for "Struggle for Birmingham" for
PBS; and the George Foster Peabody Award for "Red Star over
Khyber" for PBS. Moreover, Reeves has received recognition for his impact on
journalism. In 1998, he won the Carey McWilliams Award of
the American Political Science Association for
distinguished contributions to the understanding of
American politics. He was the Goldman Lecturer on American
Civilization and Government at the Library of Congress that
year; the lectures were published by Harvard University
Press under the title What the People Know: Freedom and the
Press. Today, Reeves is a Visiting Professor at the Annenberg
School for Communication at the University of Southern
California, while continuing to write his weekly syndicated
column. His ongoing projects include a history of the
Oregon Trail, and a recreation of the experiments of Ernest
Rutherford (Nobel Prize winner for chemistry in 1908).
