Jeffrey Goldberg is the editor in chief of The Atlantic, and the moderator of ‘Washington Week with The Atlantic’ on PBS. Goldberg is the 15th person to serve as editor in chief in The Atlantic’s 167-year history. Under Goldberg’s leadership, The Atlantic has won the first three Pulitzer Prizes in its history and set new records for subscriptions. The Atlantic has also won the National Magazine Award for General Excellence, the highest honour bestowed by the magazine industry, for the past three years in a row.

Goldberg’s most recent book, ‘On Heroism’, is an expansion of his explosive reporting about former President Donald Trump’s contempt for and repeated disparagement of military service members – a story he broke four years ago. Goldberg is the recipient of numerous awards, including the National Magazine Award for Reporting, the Daniel Pearl Award for Reporting, the Overseas Press Club’s award for human-rights reporting, and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists Prize for best investigative reporter.
