Description
For over 15 years, David Roberts has been exploring and writing about a variety of topics related to news and culture. From 2015 to 2020, he was with Vox, a news and culture publication for which he still occasionally writes and contributes. Previously, he was with Grist, a publication focused on environmental news, and has also written for Outside.
He has appeared on TV shows, radio programs, and podcasts such as All In with Chris Hayes, On the Media, Pod Save America, and Why Is This Happening? His work has been cited by numerous people, from Al Gore to US senators to pundits and media analysts, to name a few.
In 2020 David left Vox to start a newsletter/podcast called Volts about clean energy & politics. Rather than the broad-and-shallow view offered by most publications, he sifts through the flotsam for what matters and then goes deep on it. The goal is not quantity of information but quality of understanding.
