John Tierney (journalist)
John Tierney (b. March 25 1953) is a journalist who has worked for the New York Times since 1990.
Author of The Best-Case Scenario Handbook (a 2002 parody of the popular Worst-Case Scenario Handbook series), Tierney was named on March 1 2005 an Op-Ed columnist for the New York Times, taking over from the retired William Safire. Like Safire, Tierney writes from a conservative point-of-view; he has exhibited some signs of libertarianism, through such stances as his criticism of specific aspects of the so-called War on Drugs.
Tierney started his journalism career as an undergraduate at Yale University, where he was editor of the Yale Daily News magazine, and interned at a number of newspapers. He has also worked for Science magazine, The Washington Star, The Bergen Record, and as a freelancer for many newspapers and magazines.
