He was editor-in-chief of ''The Harvard Independent'', a weekly newsmagazine, and also wrote for several other campus publications. Yglesias started blogging in early 2002, while still in college, focusing mainly on American politics and public policy issues, often approached from an abstract, philosophical perspective. He was one of the supporters of the Iraq war. Yglesias joined the ''American Prospect'' as a writing fellow upon his graduation in 2003, subsequently becoming a staff writer. His posts appeared regularly on the magazine's collaborative weblog (TAPPED ).〔(''Special Plans: The Blogs on Douglas Feith & the Faulty Intelligence That Led to War'' ), Editor Allison Hantschel, Franklin, Beedle & Associates, Inc., 2005, ISBN 978-1-59028-049-2〕 His personal blog has been hosted, at various times, on Blogger, Typepad, Josh Marshall's TPMCafe, and at matthewyglesias.com. From June 2007 until August 2008, he was a staff writer at ''The Atlantic Monthly'', and his blog was hosted on the magazine's website, ''The Atlantic''. In July 2008, he announced that he would leave ''The Atlantic Monthly'' for the Center for American Progress where he wrote for its blog, ThinkProgress, because he missed "the sense of collegiality that comes from working with like-minded colleagues on a shared enterprise" and thought he could "help advance their mission".〔Matthew Yglesias: (Big Thinktank Matt )〕 On November 21, 2011, he left ThinkProgress to work as a business and economics correspondent at Slate's Moneybox.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Observer.com )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Slate )〕 He does not have a degree in economics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mathew Yglesias Weblog )〕 He is a regular contributor to BloggingHeads.tv.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theatlantic.com/matthew-yglesias/#bio )〕 Yglesias is often referred to in the blogosphere as Big Media Matt, a semi-affectionate nickname coined by Duncan Black after his recruitment by the ''American Prospect''.〔Talk Left: (Big Media Matt on the Move )〕 Andrew Sullivan takes nominations on his blog for the Yglesias Award, an honor "for writers, politicians, columnists or pundits who actually criticize their own side, make enemies among political allies, and generally risk something for the sake of saying what they believe."〔Andrew Sullivan's (Daily Dish Awards )〕 Yglesias is also somewhat infamous for the often poor spelling of his blog posts, a weakness to which he frankly admits.〔Matthew Yglesias: (Why I Can't Spell )〕 The Yglesias Award, just like the Dick Morris Award and the Moore Award, give every appearance of being serious awards for their various categories, as judged by their descriptions and their lists of nominees.〔http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/awards/mmxiii/yglesias/〕 Yglesias has stated that he voted for Mitt Romney when he ran for Governor of Massachusetts.〔https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/statuses/241343504045973504〕 In February 2014, he left ''Slate'' and joined Vox Media to work on Vox.com with Ezra Klein.〔http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/26/5348212/ezra-klein-vox-is-our-next〕 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「Matthew Yglesias」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
