Biography
Timothy Noah is a senior writer for Slate Magazine, where he writes the "Chatterbox" column, and a contributing editor to The Washington Monthly. Noah was previously an assistant managing editor at U.S. News and World Report, a Washington reporter for the Wall Street Journal,[1][2] a staff writer at The New Republic and a congressional correspondent for Newsweek. He is a graduate of Harvard University, from which he graduated cum laude in 1980,[3] and where he was an editor of the Harvard Advocate. He lives in Washington, D.C.. Noah's nephew is Maroon 5 frontman, Adam Levine.
Noah's late wife, fellow journalist Marjorie Williams, died of cancer in 2005. After her death, Noah edited an anthology of Williams' writing, The Woman at the Washington Zoo: Writings on Politics, Family, and Fate.[4] The book won PEN's Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction and a National Magazine Award in the category of essays and criticism. A second Williams anthology, Reputation: Portraits in Power was published in October 2008.
Noah appears frequently on television and radio as a commentator on politics and the media. Selected appearances include:

Iraq War
In a February 2003 article in Slate,[5] Noah described his initial opposition to the Iraq War and his conversion to the pro-war position by Colin Powell's February 3 speech to the United Nations. After many of Powell's statements were proven false, Noah changed his mind again about the war, praising those who had remained steadfastly against it in an August 2004 column.[6] Since then, he has been an outspoken critic of the media's ongoing tendency to grant credibility to war boosters, while discounting the views of those who opposed the war from the start.
