Paul Kengor, Ph.D., Grove City College professor of political science, is the new editor of The American Spectator, one of America’s oldest and most influential conservative publications.
Kengor, who was already serving as a senior editor and regular contributor to The American Spectator, was tapped for the post by the magazine and online outlet’s founder and longtime editor-in-chief, R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr.
Tyrrell said Kengor knows the magazine well, both as a contributor and as a scholar working on an official history of The American Spectator, and has been a key developer of new contributors though the magazine’s Young Writers Program.
Kengor will continues his duties at Grove City College and the Institute for Faith & Freedom, where he serves as the conservative think tank’s senior director and chief academic fellow, in addition to his teaching duties.
Kengor said he aims to keep the magazine “funny, hilarious and politically incorrect. With fearless wit, great writers and great writing.”
