Goldberg is Editor of National Review Online and the author of a
thrice-weekly column “The Goldberg File.” He normally
doesn’t like to use the word “thrice.” He is also
a Contributing Editor to National Review, which he usually
calls National Review OnDeadTree. In addition to the National
Review duties and responsibilities which have caused him to
gain so much weight, Goldberg writes a nationally syndicated column
for Tribune Media Services. He also writes a regular media criticism
column for The
American Enterprise magazine.
Goldberg, who enjoys being called Thor, has been a contributing
editor to Brill’s Content and may still be one, he’s
just not sure since he no longer writes a column for them. He’s
pretty sure that he can call himself a Hoover Institution Media
Fellow.
Goldb…, er, Thor has written on politics and culture for The
New Yorker, the Wall Street Journal, Commentary,
The Public Interest, The Wilson Quarterly, The
Weekly Standard, the New York Post, National Review
(duh), Reason, The Women's Quarterly, The New Criterion,
Food and Wine, The Street.com, and Slate.
A former television producer, Goldberg wrote and produced two national
public-television documentaries that he’s very proud of so
long as no one watches them. The first was on the history and legends
surrounding Gargoyles (yes, the stone-monster thingies) and the
other was on the history of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Goldberg
also has production credits in several other award-winning television
productions dealing with American politics and history. He was the
producer of the award-winning PBS series Think Tank with Ben
Wattenberg from 1995 to 1998.
Prior to his television work, Goldberg was a research analyst in
social and political studies at the American Enterprise Institute
in Washington, D.C. — though nobody there called him Thor.
He has also tried his hand at being a literary agent (Note: he immediately
files all unsolicited manuscripts under “G” for “Garbage”).
Goldberg is a graduate of Goucher College, and a former member of
its Board of Trustees. In 1990, he was named by Leadership America
(whatever that is) as one of the top 50 college leaders in the United
States. He has also worked for United Press International (London)
and Scripps Howard News Service, at a professional level just above
pissboy. In 1991 Goldberg lived in Czechoslovakia teaching English.
He currently lives in Washington, D.C., with his soon-to-be wife
and his soon-to-be-healthy dog Cosmo.
Goldberg is available
to speak at conferences, seminars, conventions, weddings, bar
mitzvahs, circumcisions, mall openings, group liposuctions, and
children’s birthday parties. He will not do nude scenes —
but if you call him Thor, he’ll discuss it.
