The author...
In 2000, Varadarajan joined the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, under its editor, Robert L. Bartley. He worked there as a senior editorial writer, deputy editorial features editor, chief television and media critics, and, for five years, as the paper’s editorial features (”op-ed”) editor (a post to which he was appointed by the paper’s editorial page editor, Paul A. Gigot.)
In 2007, he served briefly as assistant managing editor of the Wall Street Journal, before joining New York University’s Stern School of Business as a clinical professor. He was, concurrently, executive editor for opinions at Forbes Magazine, where he radically revamped the opinion section of Forbes.com.
In 2009, Varadarajan left Forbes for The Daily Beast, where he was appointed writer-at-large, tasked with writing opinion columns on politics, foreign affairs, and American culture.
When Newsweek merged with The Daily Beast in December 2010, Varadarajan was named editor of Newsweek International by editor-in-chief Tina Brown. In December 2012, he became the first editor of Newsweek Global, the all-digital publication that took the place of the magazine’s print edition. He resigned from that job in late April 2013.
Varadarajan has been associated with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University for several years, most recently as the Virginia Hobbs Carpenter Research Fellow in Journalism. He is the editor of Defining Ideas, a Hoover Institution publication.[5]
He has also been an adjunct professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism; the City University of New York’s Graduate School of Journalism; and the Department of Journalism at New York University, where he is currently a Distinguished Visiting Scholar.
