Wikipedia Bio / Profile Background
Introduction :
Washington writer-at-large and editor Nicholas Confessore still enjoys the old-school printed copy of The New York Times. Nevertheless, he continues to have Google and Twitter (now called X) alerts set on his phone for finance, political, and election news.
Personal Life : Parents, Family and Education
- Nicholas was born on May 17, 1976, to parents – Ralph Confessore (father) and Lydia Leonard (mother). His full name is Nicholas Francis Alexander Confessore.
- He grew up in New York City & is a graduate of Hunter College High School in Manhattan, New York. After high school, Confessore attended Princeton University, majoring in politics, and was a regular contributor to the University’s student paper, Nassau Weekly.
- Nick has remained rooted in New York but has scooped many stories in Washington D.C.
Wedding and Marriage :
- Nicholas is married to Anna Hoffman and has an adorable step-daughter named Lila. They were introduced at a friend’s August 2011 party and remember talking while a thunderstorm rolled in. They said they haven’t stopped talking since their eyes met.
- Nick and his family have spent summers at Quogue since he was a boy, so when Lila and Anna expressed their love of the ocean, the couple decided to tie the knot at Quogue beach.
- The couple honored a few Jewish traditions, including the breaking of the glass.
- Lila took Nicholas for the first dance, a father-daughter, and this added to the delight of their married life.
- At their seaside ceremony in Long Island, New York, in July 2013, another storm rolled in, reminding them again of that fateful rainy night. Anna said the effect of the mist over the sea was “magical.”
Job, Profession, Salary and Net Worth :
- Confessore began his career as a staff writer for The American Prospect, and won the 2003 Livingston Award for his national reporting.
- Nicholas has also won a Pulitzer Prize as part of the team that brought down Governor Spitzer of New York.
- He was an investigative reporter and editor for The Washington Monthly, and at the same time wrote for The Atlantic Monthly and Rolling Stone.
- A regular Twitter (now called X) user, Nicholas states “the casual reader interprets my social accounts as an extension of The Times digital platforms, for good or ill” and sanctions he feels a responsibility to his readers.
- He also writes for Times Magazine and covers investigative reporting on the wealth, power, and influence of Washington’s biggest names.
Interesting Facts, Height and Trivia :
- In an attempt to “quit social media,” except for the occasional Twitter (now called X) or social news feed, Confessore mentioned: “It’s tough!”. Nick has noted that social media is linked to the pleasure portion of the brain, the way sugar is!
- Deleting social media accounts can “disconnect you from people you care about,” and even though there are other ways to connect and you feel positive about spending less time online, it certainly “won’t help pass legislation or change company policy.”
- He is more diligent about posting The Times’ Twitter (now called X) and online feeds, knowing that is where his audience is.
