Early life and education

Mandel graduated from Rutgers University in 2004 with a degree in journalism and media studies.[3]

Career

Upon graduation from Rutgers, Mandel began working as a newspaper reporter for the East Brunswick Sentinel. Two years later, he was offered reporting jobs at four related newspapers: The Jewish State, The Jewish Journal, The Speaker, and Jewish Life of Hudson County. By the time these newspapers folded in July 2010, he was managing editor[4] of all four. In 2011, he moved to Washington, D.C., and became a National Security Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a national security and foreign policy think tank, and a journalism fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, formerly known as the Center for the Study of Popular Culture. A year later, he returned to the New York area as assistant editor of Commentary magazine.[3] He then became op-ed editor of the New York Post.[5]

He has written for the New York Post, The Atlantic, RealClearPolitics, and Commentary magazine.[6] In 2017, The New York Times named him one of three writers "From the Right" recommended to their readers,"[7] while Paste Magazine named him one of "The 25 Best Never Trump Conservatives to Follow on Twitter."[8] He has also been interviewed on NPR as a prominent "Never Trump" conservative.[9]

In 2013, several media outlets reported he was among a group of American conservative writers indirectly paid by the Malaysian government for writing articles critical of the Malaysian opposition leadership (Mandel received $5,500),[10][11] and had not disclosed this payment at the time his writing was published.[12]

In October 2018, he was named executive editor of The Washington Examiner print edition.[13][14]

Personal life

Mandel is married to Bethany Mandel, with whom he has four children.[15] In 2017, he helped his wife deliver their third child in a Nissan Altima, while en route to the hospital from their home in Highland Park, New Jersey.[16][17]

gollark: Really? If so, that's very Apple.
