Doyle McManus (born approximately 1952) is an American journalist, columnist (for the Los Angeles Times),[2][3] who appears often on Public Broadcasting Service's Washington Week.[4][5]

Early life

Doyle D. McManus is the son of Lois Doyle and the late James R. McManus, a San Francisco advertising executive.[6]

He earned an A.B. in history at Stanford University in 1974, and was a Fulbright scholar at the University of Brussels.[7][8]

Career

As an undergraduate, McManus worked on the Stanford Daily.

He was a foreign correspondent for three years at the United Press International, beginning in Brussels.

He joined the L.A. Times in 1978, reporting from Los Angeles, the Middle East, Central America, New York. He transferred to the Times's Washington, D.C., bureau in 1983, where he covered the U.S. State Department, and White House. He succeeded Jack Nelson as bureau chief in 1996.[4][5] After thirteen years as bureau chief, he reportedly told colleagues that he had "long ago asked for a new assignment."[9] In November 2008, the financially troubled Tribune Company made him a columnist when it closed the L.A. Times's bureau in favor of a single Washington bureau for all its newspapers.[3]

Mr. McManus has written for Foreign Policy, Time, Sports Illustrated, and the London Daily Express. He appears regularly on the PBS commentary program Washington Week.

He has covered every presidential election since 1984.

In January 2008, he was a moderator at Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama's presidential primary debate in Los Angeles.[10]

In 2009 his newspaper jumped ahead of the media pack's coverage of the Obama administration's first one hundred days, with articles about its first ninety days.[2]

We are slaves to news pegs," says Doyle McManus, a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, which scooped the world by starting its pieces 10 days early. "Since it's an arbitrary number," he says, "who's to say Day 90 isn't just as important?" McManus looked up the story he published on George W. Bush's 100th day in office, when he credited the new president with "preaching a conciliatory message" and quoted a scholar as praising the administration's "astonishing professionalism." That experience, says McManus, was "sobering. {{cite news}}: Cite has empty unknown parameters: |pmd= and |curly= (help)
