Stossel has been associated with the magazine since 1992 when, shortly
after graduating from Harvard, he joined the staff and helped to launch
<i>The Atlantic Online</i>. In 1996, he moved to
<i>The American Prospect</i> where, over the course of seven
years,
he served as associate editor, executive editor, and culture editor. He
rejoined the <i>Atlantic</i> staff in 2002.</p>
<p>His articles have appeared in a wide array of publications,
including <i>The New Yorker</i>, <i>The New
Republic</i>, <i> The New York
Times</i>, <i>The Washington Post</i>, and
<i>The Boston Globe</i>. His 2004 book, <a

target="outlink">Sarge: The Life and Times of Sargent
Shriver</a>, inspired <i>The Boston Globe</i>
to write, "Scott Stossel's superb new biography is an extraordinary
achievement," while <i>Publisher's Weekly</i> declared,
"This is a superbly researched, immensely readable political
biography."</p> <p>Within the <i>Atlantic</i>
offices, Scott will be forever
remembered as the managing editor who oversaw the magazine's 2005 move
to Washington from Boston, where it had been based since its founding in
1857. Under Scott's supervision, the magazine shifted all of its
operations from Boston's North End to the Watergate
building, all the while producing issues that were later nominated for
National Magazine Awards.</p> <p>Along with writing and
editing, Scott has taught courses in the American Studies Department at
Trinity College. He currently divides his time between Washington
and Boston, where he lives with his family in Washington, D.C.</p>
