Jeff Jacoby Biography

Jeff Jacoby is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on February 10, 1959 in Cleveland, Cleveland, United States. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, United States to a Jewish family, Jacoby received a B.A. degree with honors from The George Washington University and a J.D. degree from the Boston University School of Law. His father, a Holocaust survivor, was born in present-day Slovakia in 1925 and came to the United States in 1948.

In 1997, Jacoby published “A message to my newborn son”. The article became the first in an annual tradition, publishing “Letters to Caleb” until 2009.

Jacoby claimed that as the only conservative columnist on the otherwise liberal Globe op-ed pages, he was held to a higher standard. “I’ve been aware from the outset that I have to be extremely aware of my column,” he told the Associated Press. In August 2000, Jacoby filed a grievance through his union, The Newspaper Guild.

In 2000, Jacoby was suspended by the Globe for four months without pay for what the paper called his “serious journalistic misconduct” in failing to provide sources for a Fourth of July column on the fate of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Although the themes and ideas in the column had already appeared in other media outlets, Jacoby neglected to mention that the column’s content was not original. The Globe “avoided calling the column a work of plagiarism but stated that Jacoby should have alerted readers to similar accounts published elsewhere over the years.” On CNN’s Reliable Sources, veteran journalists Bernard Kalb and Howard Kurtz concluded that “Jeff Jacoby got shafted by the Boston Globe.” Time magazine’s Lance Morrow wrote that “Jacoby’s offense was no offense.” Many conservative organizations and commentators expressed outrage, saying that Jacoby had been unfairly held to a far stricter standard than other journalists would be. The Boston Phoenix, often at odds with Jacoby’s views, also rose to Jacoby’s defense.

Jacoby’s column has been published on the op-ed page of The Boston Globe since

1994. From 1987 to 1994, he was chief editorial writer for the Boston Herald. Within months of his debut at the Globe, he was described by the left-leaning Boston Phoenix as “the region’s pre-eminent spokesman for Conservative Nation,” and a columnist who had “quickly established himself as a must-read.” Jacoby has also been a commentator on the local NPR affiliate, WBUR, and for several years hosted a talk show on local television. He is also a public speaker who lectures nationwide.
