David Talbot
Biography:
Hailed as a "pioneer of online journalism" by the New York Times, David Talbot is the founder and former editor in chief of Salon. He has worked as a senior editor for Mother Jones magazine and as a features editor for the San Francisco Examiner. David has written for the New Yorker, Rolling Stone and other publications. As a 16-year-old campaign volunteer for Robert Kennedy the night he was shot down in Los Angeles, it struck David that the murder, following those of JFK and Martin Luther King Jr., had irreparably wounded America. And this feeling has never left him in all the years that have followed. For him, aggressively pursuing the hidden history of the Kennedy years was an attempt to find out where his country had lost its way, and perhaps to restore the hope and faith that he himself had lost as a young American growing up in the 1960s.
