MICHAEL WEISSKOPF

Senior Political Correspondent, TIME

Michael Weisskopf is a senior correspondent for TIME in the magazine's Washington, D.C. bureau. He covers national politics and investigations. He covered the developments in the Monica Lewinsky story and during the 2000 election, did pieces on George W. Bush's record in Texas. He is the co-author of Truth At Any Cost, a book on the Kenneth Starr probe published in April of 2000 by HarperCollins.

In 1998, Weisskopf, along with Washington Bureau Chief Michael Duffy and Correspondent Viveca Novak, was awarded the prestigious Goldsmith Award for Investigative Reporting, sponsored by Harvard University's Joan Shorenstein Center for Press, Politics and Public Policy, for their portfolio of investigative stories on campaign finance abuses. (TIME shared that award with the Seattle Times.) In 1999, he and chief political correspondent Eric Pooley were given the Henry R. Luce award for "Outstanding Story" for a piece they wrote on Kenneth Starr called "How Starr Sees It."

Weisskopf joined TIME in January 1997 from The Washington Post. In his 20 years with the Post, he covered politics, the environment and the Pentagon. He was the paper's correspondent in China from 1980 to 1985 and covered the hostage crisis in Iran in 1979 and 1980. Prior to joining the Post, Weisskopf covered politics and government for The Baltimore Sun. He began his career in journalism at The Montgomery Advertiser in Montgomery, Alabama.

While at the Post, Weisskopf won the George Polk Award for national coverage and The Everett McKinley Dirksen Award for Distinguished Reporting of Congress. In 1996 he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting. He is the co-author with David Maraniss of Tell Newt to Shut Up, which chronicles the rise and fall of the Gingrich revolution and was published in 1996 by Simon & Schuster's paperback division.

Weisskopf received his Master of Arts from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and his Bachelors degree from George Washington University. He is fluent in Chinese.

He lives in the District of Columbia with his wife Judith, their two children, Skyler and Olivia, two dogs and three cats.
