James Warren

James Warren is a former manager editor and Washington bureau chief of the Chicago Tribune. An ink-stained wretch, he’s labored at the Newark Star-Ledger, the Chicago Sun-Times and the Tribune in a variety of positions, including financial reporter, legal affairs reporter-columnist, labor writer, media writer-columnist and features editor. The Washingtonian once tagged him one of the town’s 50 most influential journalists (he thinks he was 46, the number worn by Andy Pettitte, a pitcher for his beloved New York Yankees). He’s a political analyst for MSNBC and writes on magazines and politics for the Huffington Post. He has recently become publisher and president of the Chicago Reader, and twice-a-week Chicago columnist for the New York Times. A native New Yorker, he’s a happy resident of the wonderful, if ethically-challenged, City of Chicago, where he lives just north of decaying Wrigley Field with his Pulitzer Prize-winning wife, Cornelia, and their sons, Blair and Eliot. read more
