  • Anthony Lewis (born March 27, 1927, New York City) is a prominent liberal intellectual, writing for The New York Times op-ed page and The New York Review of Books, among other publications. He was previously a columnist for the Times (1969-2001). Before that he was London bureau chief (1965-1972), Washington, D.C. bureau (1955-64), and deskman (1948-1952) all for the Times. From 1952-55 he worked for the Democratic National Committee and the Washington Daily News.His first Pulitzer Prize was in 1955 for reporting on the U.S. Government's loyalty program, and specifically on the dismissal of Abraham Chasanow, a Navy employee who was not informed of the nature of the accusations against him, nor of his accusers. Lewis's articles led to the employee's reinstatement. He won a second Pulitzer Prize in 1963 for his coverage of the United States Supreme Court. He has frequently written on the Court and matters of constitutional law. Lewis has taught at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism since the mid-'70s, and has held the school's James Madison chair in First Amendment Issues since 1982. He lectured at Harvard from 1974 to 1989 and has been a visiting lecturer at several other colleges and universities, including the Universities of Arizona, California, Illinois, and Oregon. Anthony Lewis was born in New York City; he attended the Horace Mann School in New York and Harvard College, where he earned a B.A. in 1948. While at Harvard, he was an editor of the Harvard Crimson. He is on the board of directors of the Committee to Protect Journalists. In 1983, Lewis received the Elijah Parish Lovejoy Award as well as an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Colby College. Noam Chomsky has said that Anthony Lewis is at "the far left of the spectrum" that is available in the mainstream media, and thus is useful in discovering the tacit assumptions that underlie all mainstream discussion. He is married to Chief Justice Margaret H. Marshall of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, who was formerly the General Counsel and Vice-President at Harvard University. She wrote the majority opinion in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, which legalized gay marriage in Massachusetts. He has three children from his first marriage: Eliza, David, and Mia; and seven grandchildren: Miranda, Lily, Zoe, Thea, Evie, Beatrice and Jack. Lewis and his wife currently reside in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and are longtime residents there. Lewis is Jewish. (en)
  • Anthony Lewis (* 27. März 1927 in New York, NY) ist ein bekannter, dem liberalen Spektrum zuzuordnender, Journalist, der u.a. Editorials für die New York Times schreibt und Artikel für das New York Review of Books. Zuvor arbeitete er bei der Times als Editor (von 1948-1952), in deren Redaktion in Washington, D.C. (1955-1964), in der Londoner als Chefredakteur (1965-1972) und von 1969 bis 2001 als Kolumnist. Zeitweise (1952-1955) arbeitete er noch für die Demokratische Partei in den USA und schrieb Artikel für die Washington Daily News. Er wuchs in New York auf, besuchte dort die Horace Mann School und später die Harvard University, die er mit einem Bachelor of Arts abschloss. In seiner Zeit in Harvard schrieb für „The Harvard Crimson“, eine Tageszeitung, die nur von Harvardstudenten betrieben wird. Verheiratet ist er mit Margaret H. Marshall und hat aus seiner ersten Ehe drei Kinder. Noam Chomsky ist der Meinung, dass man Lewis für Mainstreammedienverhältnisse sehr weit links ansiedeln könne und er daher nützlich sei, wenn man die stillschweigenden Vereinbarungen, unter denen alle Diskussionen über den Mainstream stattfänden, untersuchen will.
