Joining COMMENTARY

Just a quick note to announce that I have become the Online Editor of Commentary magazine, where I will be working with editor John Podhoretz and Jonathan S. Tobin, who was elevated to the position of Senior Online Editor, to make the best magazine in America even better. My primary job will be to edit the magazine’s blog Contentions, but I’ll also help around the house. And blog there myself now and then, when I have something topical and pressing to say.

I should also note that, for only $1.99 a month, you can now get Commentary delivered to your Kindle. Podhoretz’s monthly editorials and Andrew Ferguson’s “Press Man,” his monthly column of press criticism, alone are worth the price. The May issue of the magazine includes Noah Pollak’s exposé of B’Tselem, the Israeli “human-rights” organization, Omri Ceren’s examination of the Goldstone Report in light of its author’s admission that most of it was a lie, and a wonderful essay by Algis Valiunas on Montaigne.
