Bret Louis Stephens (born November 21, 1973) is an American journalist who won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 2013.[1] He works for The Wall Street Journal as the foreign-affairs columnist and the deputy editorial page editor and is responsible for the editorial pages of its European and Asian editions. Stephens will begin working as a columnist at The New York Times in early May 2017.[2] From 2002 to 2004, he was editor in chief of The Jerusalem Post.[3]
He is known for his climate change denial;[4] for instance, in 2014 he called climate change activists "profiteers",[5] and in 2015 he wrote in a Wall Street Journal editorial that climate change is one of "Liberalism's imaginary enemies".[6]
Early life and education
Stephens was born in New York City,[7] the son of Xenia and Charles J. Stephens, a former vice president of General Products, a chemical company in Mexico.[8][9] His parents were both secular Jews. His paternal grandfather had changed the family surname from Ehrlich to Stephens (after poet James Stephens).[10] He was raised in Mexico City, where his father was born and worked. In his adolescence, he attended boarding school at Middlesex School in Massachusetts. Stephens received an undergraduate degree in political philosophy from the University of Chicago before earning a master's degree in comparative politics[11] at the London School of Economics.
Career
Stephens began his career at The Wall Street Journal as an op-ed editor in New York. He later worked as an editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal Europe, in Brussels.[12]
2000s
In 2006, he took over the "Global View" column after George Melloan's retirement. In 2009, he was named deputy editorial page editor after the retirement of Melanie Kirkpatrick.
From 2002 to 2004, he was editor in chief of the Jerusalem Post.[13] He won the 2008 Eric Breindel Award for Excellence in Opinion Journalism and the 2010 Bastiat Prize.[14] In 2005, Stephens was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.[15] He is also a frequent contributor to Commentary magazine.[16]
2010s
Stephens won the annual Pulitzer Prize for Commentary recognizing his 2012 columns for the Journal for "incisive columns on U.S. foreign policy and domestic politics, often enlivened by a contrarian twist."[1]
Stephens authored the book America in Retreat: The New Isolationism and the Coming Global Disorder, released in November 2014.[17] The book presents the case that the U.S. has been retreating from its role as the "world's policeman" in recent decades, which will lead to ever greater world problems.
Stephens has made several short videos for the conservative education website Prager University. His lessons focus on American foreign policy in the Middle East.[18]
Personal life
He is married to Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, a music critic who writes for The New York Times. The couple has three children and lives in New York City.[19][20]
