Full Bio

Kyle Pope is the voice of journalism. As Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of the Columbia Journalism Review, which serves as both an advocate and watchdog of the press, Pope sits atop the most prestigious perch in media in what is now the most precarious moment in its history.

At a time when the president of the United States is attacking the press and many Americans describe a lack of trust in the their news outlets, Pope has emerged as a thoughtful, and often contrarian, voice about how the American press got to this point and what it can do to get out of it.

Before joining Columbia, Kyle Pope’s three decades of media experience range from a decade at The Wall Street Journal—including time as a foreign correspondent based in Europe—to Deputy Editor at Conde Nast, where he oversaw some of the most prominent writers in the country. He was Jared Kushner’s first hire at The New York Observer, where he served as Editor in Chief.

Pope is frequently quoted in national publications about media issues, is a regular guest on television, and in the summer of 2017, was asked to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on threats to the press. A thought-provoking, engaging presence, Kyle Pope is in a unique and unmatched position to make sense of what has emerged as one of the most pressing political and social issues of our day.
