Jamelle Bouie (born April 12, 1987) is an American columnist for The New York Times. He was formerly chief political correspondent for Slate magazine.[1] David Uberti, writing in the Columbia Journalism Review, called Bouie "one of the defining commentators on politics and race in the Trump era."[2]

Early life and education

Bouie was born and raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He attended Floyd E. Kellam High School, from which he graduated in 2005.[3] He graduated from the University of Virginia in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political and social thought and government.[4][5]

Career

Bouie was awarded a writing fellowship for the magazine The American Prospect in 2010. He was awarded a Knobler Fellowship at the Nation Institute by the print magazine The Nation in 2012.[6] Bouie became a staff writer for online magazine The Daily Beast in 2013,[7] writing about national politics.[8] He moved to Slate magazine as a Chief Political Correspondent in 2014.[9][10] He joined The New York Times as a columnist in 2019.[11][12]

Bouie was a contributor to Barack Obama and the New America: The 2012 Election and the Changing Face of Politics,[13] a 2013 book edited by political scientist Larry Sabato.[14]

Bouie writes articles focusing on history, public policy, and national politics, including the 2016 presidential race.[15] He also writes about entertainment, such as science fiction, comics and film.[16]

Bouie has written extensively on racial politics[17][18][19][20][21][5] including the Ferguson unrest,[22] Charleston church shooting,[23] and Black Lives Matter movement.[24] Shortly after Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, he wrote an article for Slate arguing that there was "no such thing as a good Trump voter." Several days earlier, he compared Trump voters to the "angry, recalcitrant whites" who resisted the Reconstruction era after the Civil War.[25][26] He has criticized the media for an unwillingness to label racism as "racist" (opting instead for terms such as "racial" and "racially charged").[27] He also criticized the media for its "horse-race" coverage of the 2016 election.[28] His writing on racial and national politics subjects is often quoted by other journalists.[29][30]

Bouie has been a political analyst on CBS News since 2015.[31][11] He frequently appears on the network's Sunday morning show Face the Nation[32][33][34][35] and contributed to the network's 2016 election night coverage.[36]

The New York Times announced that Bouie would join their lineup of opinion columnists in January 2019.[37] The newspaper stated that Bouie has "consistently driven understanding of politics deeper by bringing not only a reporter’s eye but also a historian’s perspective and sense of proportion to bear on the news. His interests [...] range well beyond politics to the visual arts, food and movies."

Recognition

In 2012, Bouie was chosen for The Root's Root Top 100.[38] The site stated that "his is a strong, influential and necessary voice during the 2012 election season and beyond."

Forbes recognized Bouie in its "30 Under 30 - Media" list in 2015, saying that "he became a leading voice on the Ferguson story."[39]
