| Occupation | Journalist |
Ryan Grim is an American author, former Washington, D.C. bureau chief for HuffPost and current Washington, D.C. bureau chief for The Intercept,[1] and a progressive political commentator for The Young Turks.[2] His writings have appeared in several publications, including Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, and Politico. He is the author of This Is Your Country on Drugs and We've Got People. He cofounded Strong Arm Press, an independent progressive publishing house.[3]
Professional overview
He has written a history of drug use and culture in the United States. Grim has presented his research on why drugs are popular at certain times in history, and his thoughts on the government's war on drugs. He formerly worked as a junior staffer at the Marijuana Policy Project.
Grim joined HuffPost (then The Huffington Post) in January 2009.[4] In his role heading a team at HuffPost, Grim twice made finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and won the prize once.[5] Towards the end of his tenure at HuffPost, significant leadership changes were occurring, sparked by Arianna Huffington's exit.[6] Grim left his position at HuffPost in 2017 after nine years with the paper, joining The Intercept to head their DC bureau.[4]
Significant reporting
Following 2016, Grim's criticisms of pollster Nate Silver were repudiated, and Grim admitted his error.[7][8]
During Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination, Grim was the first to report that Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein had received a letter related to Kavanaugh (it was later revealed to be a letter from Christine Blasey Ford alleging that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her).[6][9] Grim also reported on former Trump aide Rob Porter's abuse allegations by his ex-wives. He reported early on the 2018 campaign of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.[6]
Strong Arm Press
Following the move to The Intercept, Grim and Alex Lawson began Strong Arm Press, a small imprint printing press. Grim decided to launch the press because he felt that the Trump administration was moving too quickly for the standard publishing cycle, which tends to take around a year to publish a book. He launched Strong Arm Press to accommodate shorter, cheaper, lower-volume books with a shorter publishing turnaround-time. The first title published was Out of the Ooze, a profile of Tom Price which reached Amazon's top 100 list. The funding model for the press revolves around crowdfunding.[10]
Personal life
Grim was born and lived his early life in rural Maryland.[5]
