Steven Ira Weiss is an award-winning journalist who has worked in television, blogging and print. He has written for ''The Washington Post'', ''The Daily Beast'', ''Slate'', ''New York Magazine'', ''Harper's'' and many other publications.〔''The Huffington Post'' (Bio: Steven I. Weiss )〕〔''The Gothamist'' (Interview with Steven I. Weiss, Journalist/Blogger ), September 13, 2004〕 ==Career== Weiss first made a name for himself while a student journalist at Yeshiva University. Michael Wolff, in a column for ''New York Magazine'',〔(''New York Magazine'' )〕 cited Weiss's commentary on New York Times writer Thomas Friedman. During the 2001 New York City mayoral election, Weiss broke the story of candidate Michael Bloomberg's donations to the Democratic club run by the brother of the only Democratic elected official to endorse him in that race. Weiss's work as a student led to a position in Wayne Barrett's office at ''The Village Voice'',〔(''Village Voice'' )〕 where he reported on issues ranging from organized crime associates' contracts with municipal unions, to New York elected officials' stances on the Iraq War. Weiss began blogging in 2002, first on an individual blog and then founding a group blog, the now defunct ''Protocols'', a Jewish blogging site,〔''Jewish Quarterly'' (Miriam Shaviv explores the world of the female blogger ), Autumn 2004〕 where he coined the term "J-Blogosphere". Weiss's work at Protocols generated a reputation in the Jewish ethnic media, and he began reporting regularly for ''The Forward'', winning an American Jewish Press Association for his work on a report about a racist book published in the ultra-Orthodox community.〔(''Forward'' )〕 Weiss went on to launch one of the first hyperlocal, blog-based daily-news websites in 2004, ''CampusJ'', which eventually grew to more than 50 reporters. Jewish journalists at colleges around the country.〔''New Jersey Jewish News'' ( Choosing their battles in the war of ideas ), 2005〕 The mission of ''CampusJ'' was to "train a young generation of Jewish journalists in the reporting styles and methods of new media, while giving them the training and opportunities to enter the journalism workforce better-equipped than many of their fellow-classmen." ''CampusJ'' successes included a deal for reprinting rights with Jewish news wire service JTA, and forcing ''The New York Times'' to admit an ethical lapse in its reporting on an agreement a ''New York Times'' reporter made with the administration of Columbia University to not quote students' views in an article. Since 2006, Weiss has been director of original programming & new media at The Jewish Channel, a national cable channel called "a Jewish HBO" by ''The New York Times'', for which he serves as news anchor, executive producer, editor of its wire service and leader of various digital media efforts.〔''The New York Times'' (Rabbi’s Biography Disturbs Followers ), June 14, 2010〕 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「Steven I.
