Jeffrey T. Kuhner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeffrey T. Kuhner is the editor of the American Internet news magazine Insight since October, 2005. Insight's parent corporation, News World Communications (which also owns the Washington Times and United Press International) is owned by the Unification Church. [1] Kuhner is a regular contributor to the commentary pages Washington Times and has written for Human Events, National Review Online and Investor's Business Daily.[2]

Jeffrey T. Kuhner was born in Montreal, Canada to Croatian parents and has written extensively on Croatia.[3][4][5] After teaching American history from 1998 to 2000 at McGill University in Montreal, Kuhner worked for three years, from 2000 through 2003, as an assistant national editor at the Washington Times. After leaving the Washington Times, he worked for the Republican policy group, the Ripon Society as communications director and editor of the Ripon Forum.

In January 2007, Kuhner was criticized by the New York Times, Columbia Journalism Review, MediaWeek and others after Insight published anonymously written and unsourced allegations described by journalists as a "double smear" against U.S. 2008 presidential election candidates Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton.[6][7] [8][9]
