David Talbot (born September 22, 1951) is an American progressive journalist, author and media entrepreneur. He is the founder and former CEO and editor-in-chief of one of the first web magazines, ''Salon.com''. Talbot founded ''Salon'' in 1995, when the web was still in its infancy, and is considered one of the pioneers of online journalism. Under Talbot's leadership, the magazine gained a large following and broke several major national stories. It was described by ''Entertainment Weekly'' as one of the Net's "few genuine must-reads". Since leaving ''Salon'', Talbot has established a reputation as a historian, working on the Kennedy assassination and other areas of "hidden history." Talbot has worked as a senior editor for ''Mother Jones magazine'' and a features editor for ''The San Francisco Examiner'', and has written for ''Time'' magazine, ''The New Yorker'', ''Rolling Stone'', and other publications. ==Early life and career== Talbot was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. He attended Harvard Boys School, but did not graduate after falling afoul of the school's headmaster and ROTC program during the Vietnam War. After graduating from the University of California at Santa Cruz, he returned to Los Angeles, where he wrote a history of the Hollywood Left, "Creative Differences", and freelanced for Crawdaddy, Rolling Stone, and other magazines. He later was hired by Environmental Action Foundation in Washington, D.C. to write "Power and Light," a book about the politics of energy. After he returned to California, he was hired as an editor at Mother Jones magazine, and later, by San Francisco Examiner publisher Will Hearst to edit the newspaper's Sunday magazine, Image. It was at the ''Examiner'' where Talbot developed the idea for Salon, convincing several of his newspaper colleagues to join him and jump ship into the brave new world of web publishing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Talbot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
