Joshua Micah Marshall (born February 15, 1969 in St. Louis, Missouri) is an accomplished journalist[1] and writer. New York Times Magazine christened Marshall "a star" of the blogosphere as the "author of one of the most popular and most respected [blogging] sites." He is also a columnist for The Hill, a Capitol Hill newspaper.[2] Marshall's work has been the subject of stories by the LA Times,[3] NPR,[4] New York Times Magazine,[5] and Bill Moyers Journal on PBS.[6]
Marshall is a graduate of Princeton University and has a Ph.D. in American history from Brown University. His father is a professor of marine biology, but his mother died when Marshall was still young. After earning his Ph.D., he worked for three years as an editor at The American Prospect. He also worked as a contributing writer to Washington Monthly and wrote for The Atlantic, The New Yorker,[2] Time.com,[7] and Salon.com[8]. He started Talking Points Memo during the 2000 Florida recount and by 2004 was earning enough money to be considered one of a few "elite bloggers".[2] He married Millet Israeli in March 2005, and the couple live in New York City with their son Sam and dog Simon.
Marshall's blog, Talking Points Memo, covers a wide range of topics including U.S. foreign policy, domestic politics (especially at the federal level) and domestic policy. It frequently asks readers to send in tips regarding the positions of their members of Congress.
In 2002, Marshall helped fuel the scandal over remarks that Trent Lott made at Strom Thurmond's birthday party; Marshall's scoops influenced the coverage of both The Associated Press and The New York Times op-ed page. Scholars at the Kennedy School of Government singled out Marshall for credit in pushing the Lott story, which eventually led to Trent Lott's resignation as Senate Minority Leader.[2]
In 2003, Marshall wrote about the Valerie Plame CIA leak scandal over a week before it received mention in The New York Times.[2]
Another companion project is TPMCafe, which Marshall launched in 2005.[9] This site features a collection of blogs about a wide range of domestic and foreign policy issues written by academics, journalists and former public officials among others.
Marshall expanded his operation to a new blog in 2006, called TPMmuckraker. The site published investigative reporting on political corruption, originally staffed by Paul Kiel and Justin Rood. Rood has since moved on to ABC and its blog The Blotter.
Arianna Huffington nominated Josh Marshall and the Talking Points Memo team to the Time 100 for doggedly pursuing the story about the dismissal of U.S. attorneys by the Bush administration.[10]
