Jeffrey Goldberg is the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic and the moderator of PBS’s “Washington Week with The Atlantic.” He joined The Atlantic in 2007 as a national correspondent and became its 15th editor-in-chief in 2016. Under his leadership, the magazine has achieved record audience growth and won its first Pulitzer Prizes.
Goldberg’s journalism career includes notable articles such as “The Great Terror” and “In the Party of God,” both published in The New Yorker in 2002. His 2015 Atlantic piece, “Is It Time for the Jews to Leave Europe?”, sparked significant discussion about the state of Jewish communities in Europe.
In March 2025, Goldberg reported on a significant security breach involving the Trump administration. He was mistakenly added to a Signal group chat where officials discussed military plans against Houthi militias in Yemen. Goldberg observed detailed, real-time discussions of the operation, highlighting vulnerabilities in using personal apps for sensitive government communications.
This incident led to political repercussions, with members of Congress demanding investigations into the breach. The National Security Council confirmed the authenticity of the messages and initiated an internal review to understand how Goldberg was inadvertently included.
