Noah Shachtman is a contributing editor at WIRED and a contributing writer for The New York Times’ opinion section.

Shachtman previously served as editor in chief of Rolling Stone, where he led the storied outlet to a Polk Award and its first-ever Emmy nomination. Before that, he was the editor in chief of The Daily Beast, helping turn the site into “a journalistic scoop factory,” in the words of the Poynter Institute.

During his first stint at WIRED, Shachtman reported from Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Russia, and elsewhere around the globe.
