Steve Cuozzo Biography

Steve Cuozzo is one of the most popular and richest Editor who was born on January 17, 1950 in Ocean Hill, New York, United States. Steven D. Cuozzo (born 17 January 1950) is an American journalist, newspaper editor restaurant critic columnist for real estate, and an op-ed columnist of The New York Post.

After having graduated at Stony Brook University, Cuozzo started his first job in the city with the Space for Innovative Development performing arts center. It was located on 344 West 36th Street, the once home of a garment center Presbyterian church, it now houses The Open Theater, an experimental theatre group that operated between 1963 and 1973. The performing arts center housed the dance troupe that was led by American choreographer Alwin Nikolais. Cuozzo relocated to the Riverside Drive apartment in Manhattan and described his new surroundings as being his “portal of entry into Manhattan,” which was where he got an “first whiff of big-city glamour and grit.”

Cuozzo eventually was promoted at the Post from copy boy to copy editor in the newsroom and, in early 1979, entertainment editor with the title arts and leisure editor. On November 29, 1980, Cuozzo married Jane Hershey, daughter of Solomon G. Hershey, a professor of anesthesiology, and Lenore Hershey, editor- in-chief of the Ladies’ Home Journal. At the time, Cuozzo’s father lived in North Babylon and Jane, a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, was a New York-based writer and editor who would go on to contribute to a variety of periodicals, including Good Housekeeping, Fodor’s Travel Publications, and Hollywood Magazine.

Commenting in September 1981 on a widespread concern that the Post would close, Cuozzo noted, “We were seemingly on the brink of extinction about 12 times in a much more heart-stopping way than this has yet become. I have full confidence in the boss (Murdoch) to somehow steer us through this as long as he is legally able to.” In 1983, the autobiography of Cuozzo’s mother-in-law, entitled Between The Covers: The Lady’s Own Journal, was published.

On the 18th of December, 1972, Cuozzo started working as a copy-boy in the city area of 220 South Street at the New York Post which is an American daily newspaper established in 1801 by the Federalist Alexander Hamilton and primarily distributed throughout New York City and its surroundings. In an interview in 2012, Cuozzo stated about his first job as a copy boy which was that “In those days, it literally meant, besides getting coffee for the editors, it meant carrying pieces of copy around.” In the following 4 years Cuozzo was employed by the business owned by Dorothy Schiff, an owner and editor of The Washington Post for more than 40 years. Cuozzo later would describe the Post in these four years as an “bastion of principled liberalism” which produced the Post as a “stunted broadsheet” with “the graphic appeal of a pothole” In 1976 the liberal Schiff was able to sell the Post to the conservative Australian American business magnate Rupert Murdoch for an estimated $35 million (equals $139 million in 2019). Cuozzo was later employed by Murdoch for a number of years and, in the year 1996 was described as seeing Murdoch in the role of “part Santa Claus, part William Randolph Hearst and always larger than life.”
