Jeffrey Schmalz
Jeffrey Schmalz (/ʃmɑːlts/; December 6, 1953 – November 6, 1993) was an American journalist who spent his entire career of more than 20 years with ''The New York Times''. He is best known for his groundbreaking reporting on the emerging HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980s and 1990s and its impact on the LGBT community at that time.
Schmalz himself was a gay man who paved the way for other gay reporters at the ''Times'' in an era when homosexuality was more heavily stigmatized in the newsroom and the country as a whole. He was diagnosed with AIDS in 1990 and died with the disease on November 6, 1993 at the age of 39. He had booked a dinner at a restaurant in lower Manhattan for his 40th birthday party. Instead, the party became a memorial gathering held on December 6, 1993.
Schmalz’s reporting on AIDS includes in-depth profiles of well-known people with HIV/AIDS like Mary Fisher, Magic Johnson, and Larry Kramer. His work is recounted in the December 2015 book and radio documentary "Dying Words: The AIDS Reporting of Jeff Schmalz and How It Transformed The New York Times", by Samuel G. Freedman.

Schmalz was born and raised in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. His parents split up when he was two. His father was an alcoholic who died when Jeff was a teenager.

He received a scholarship for fatherless sons to attend Columbia University in New York City in 1971. He studied economics, and considered law school before he began working at ''The New York Times''.
