Paul Solman (born 1944) is a journalist and an economist. He has been the business and economics correspondent for the PBS NewsHour since 1985, with occasional forays into art reporting.[1]
He began his career in business journalism as a Nieman Fellow, studying at the Harvard Business School. A graduate of Brandeis University (1966), he was the founding editor of the alternative Boston weekly The Real Paper in 1972. He has won eight Emmys, two Peabody’s, and a Loeb award. Solman also taught at the Harvard Business School from 1985-1987. He joined the PBS NewsHour, then known as The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, in 1985.[2]
In 2007, he became a faculty member at Yale University’s International Security Studies, teaching in its "Grand Strategy" course.[3] He has also lectured for many years at the Yale Young Global Scholars program, the Yale Warrior-Scholar program and was the Richman Distinguished Visiting Professor at Brandeis in 2011.[4] He now also teaches economics at Gateway Community College in New Haven, Connecticut, where he also founded the Yale@Gateway speaker series. Solman co-produced, with Bob Burns, and presented a series of companion videos to McGraw-Hill economics textbooks.[5] In 1983, he co-authored, with longtime PBS executive and writer Thomas Friedman, a better-than-average-seller, Life and Death on the Corporate Battlefield (1983), which appeared in Japanese, German and a pirated Taiwanese edition. In 1994, with sociologist Morrie Schwartz, he helped create—and wrote the introduction to—the book Morrie: In His Own Words,which preceded “Tuesdays with Morrie” but failed to outsell it by several orders of magnitude.[4] His latest book, a collaboration with economist Laurence Kotlikoff and author Philip Moeller, is Get What's Yours: The Secrets to Maxing Out Your Social Security (Simon and Schuster, 2015) [6]
Every weekday his PBS NewsHour website, Making Sen$e, posts essays by eminent economists and, occasionally, “far-flung correspondents." He Tweets @paulsolman.
