Irin Carmon is a senior correspondent at New York magazine, where she covers gender, law, politics, and more.
She is the co-author of the New York Times bestselling book Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. "That I responded so personally to it is a testimony to Ms. Carmon's storytelling and panache," the paper's staff book critic wrote of Notorious RBG.
Carmon’s New York magazine feature, “The Tiger Mom and the Hornet’s Nest,” won a 2021 Front Page Award for Best Interview from the Newswomen’s Club. Her work for the Washington Post breaking the news of sexual harassment and assault allegations against Charlie Rose resulted in the television host’s removal from PBS and CBS. That reporting, with the Post’s Amy Brittain, won a 2018 Mirror Award from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University and was a finalist for the Livingston Award for Young Journalists. She speaks frequently across the country.
Previously, she was a CNN contributor, a contributing writer to the Washington Post’s Outlook, a national reporter at MSNBC and NBC News, and a staff writer at Salon and Jezebel. Forbes named her one of 30 under 30 in media in 2011. She lives in New York City with her husband and two daughters.
