From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christopher Caldwell (born 1962) is an American journalist and senior editor at The Weekly Standard, as well as a regular contributor to the Financial Times and Slate. His writing also frequently appears in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, where he is a contributing editor to the paper's magazine, and The Washington Post. He was also a regular contributor to The Atlantic Monthly and The New York Press in the past.

Caldwell was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, and is a graduate of Harvard College, where he studied English literature. His wife Zelda is the daughter of the late journalist Robert Novak.[1] He has five children.

He is receiving increasing attention for his contributions to public debate of the issues of the day. David Brooks, reviewing the best journalism of 2008, includes Caldwell for his articles questioning the morality of capitalism.[2]

Although Caldwell's 2009 book "Reflections on the Revolution In Europe" has been accused of stoking Islamophobia, or what the Guardian refers to as a "culture of fear",[3][4][5] he insists that he is "instinctively pro-immigration" and conscious of the media tendency to "sensationalise stories against Muslims".[6]
