Sam Tanenhaus has been named the Zubrow Distinguished Visiting Journalist in the College of Arts and Sciences for fall 2025 at Cornell. The DVJ program brings leading journalists each semester to meet faculty, staff and students. Peter John Loewen praised the program's breadth and called Tanenhaus a premier biographer and storyteller. Tanenhaus is a former editor-in-chief of the New York Times Book Review and Week in Review and a former Times writer at large. His work has appeared in major national publications and his books include award-winning Whittaker Chambers and the newly published Buckley. While on campus he will teach an op-ed master class, meet with students, and attend classes on modern U.S. history and narrative craft.
"One of the exciting aspects of our DVJ program is the ability to bring journalists across a broad range of expertise to campus, thanks to the generosity of our donors. Sam Tanenhaus is one of the premier biographers and storytellers today, and I'm looking forward to the insights he will share with us," said Peter John Loewen , the Harold Tanner Dean of Arts and Sciences.
"I'm looking forward to talking with students and asking for their thoughts on media and politics," said Tanenhaus. "I'm also hoping to sit in some classes - in particular one on modern U.S. history and another on narrative writing. My own work combines the two, and I'm in continual search of new ideas and approaches."
