Ezra Klein Biography

Journalist Ezra Klein was born in 1984. Before Klein rose to fame for his blogs and columns for the Washington Post, he worked for Howard Dean on his political campaign in 2003 and served as an intern for the Washington Monthly in 2004. Klein’s earliest blogs in 2003, followed by his development of the Google Groups forum known as JournoList, garnered him the buzz and attention to bring him to the next level, serving as a blogger for American Prospect in 2007.

By this time, the Washington Post had taken note of Klein’s talents and following. Ezra began writing for the newspaper full-time in 2009, and since then the Wonkblog he created has expanded to feature five additional writers. In recent years, Ezra Klein has also contributed to Countdown with Keith Olbermann and served as a columnist for Bloomberg View. Klein most recently announced his departure from the Washington Post; he will be joining a new media venture known as Vox Media.

So far in his career, Ezra Klein has been named Blogger of the Year by the Week magazine; pinned as one of the 50 most powerful people in Washington by GQ Magazine; and named one of the 25 best financial bloggers by Time Magazine. Ezra Klein begins his new venture at Vox Media in late 2014.
