Ross Gregory Douthat (/ˈdaʊθət/[1]) (born 1979) is an American conservative political analyst, blogger and author and New York Times columnist. He was the former senior editor of The Atlantic.
Personal life
Douthat was born on November 28, 1979, in San Francisco, California, and grew up in New Haven, Connecticut.[2] As an adolescent, Douthat converted to Pentecostalism and then, with the rest of his family,[3] to Catholicism.[4]
His mother, Patricia Snow, is a writer.[5] His great-grandfather was Governor Charles Wilbert Snow of Connecticut.[citation needed] His father, Charles Douthat, is a partner in a New Haven law firm[6][7] and poet. In 2007, Douthat married Abigail Tucker, a reporter for The Baltimore Sun and a writer for Smithsonian.[6] He and his family live in New Haven, Connecticut.[8]
Education
Douthat attended Hamden Hall, a private high school in Hamden, Connecticut. Douthat graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University in 2002, where he was also elected to Phi Beta Kappa. While there he contributed to The Harvard Crimson and edited The Harvard Salient.[9]
Career
Douthat is a regular blogger and columnist for The New York Times.[10] In April 2009, he became the youngest regular op-ed writer in The New York Times after replacing Bill Kristol as a conservative voice on the Times editorial page.[11][12]
Before joining The New York Times, he was a senior editor at The Atlantic.[13] His published books are Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics (2012), Grand New Party (2008) with Reihan Salam, and Privilege: Harvard and the Education of the Ruling Class (2005). He frequently appeared on the video debate site Bloggingheads.tv until 2012.
David Brooks called Grand New Party the "best single roadmap of where the Republican Party should and is likely to head."[14]
