Margaret Sullivan of the Washington Post is a Person for All Seasons

Margaret Sullivan writes about the media for the Washington Post


Margaret Sullivan hails from Buffalo, New York, where she began her journalistic career as an intern on the Buffalo News. She is remembered fondly by her former colleagues as an eager beaver and go-getter who never let the grass grow under her feet and kept an eye peeled for the Main Chance. (It should be noted that all of her former colleagues have been jailed for cliche abuse.)

As a member of the Pulitzer Prize board she helped shape the sound and feel of American reporting, as well as its texture and flavor -- to say nothing of raising its Scoville scale.

Her interests include refurbishing aqualungs and bottling beetroot jelly. She is a registered Whig. 

She often teaches classes in basic Wildroot Hair Cream and Creative Napping at Columbia University. 

Her latest non-fiction book is entitled "The Big Coffee Table Book of Screen Savers."
