He was chief entertainment correspondent for the New York Post from 1977 to 1988,[1] and was a news editor at Time Inc. from 1995 to 2015,[2] where he founded the People Online Daily. He is also the author of a dozen books of cultural criticism.[3] The Wall Street Journal called him "a veteran journalist and historian of popular culture [who] writes with verve and mischief,"[4] while Kirkus Reviews dubbed him "a deft manipulator of the devastating deadpan non-sequitur".[5]
