Wolf Isaac Blitzer (born March 22, 1948) is an American journalist, television news anchor, and author who has been a CNN reporter since 1990, and who currently serves as one of the principal anchors at the network. [1] He has been the host of The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer since 2005; previously he served as the network's lead political anchor until 2021.

Early life and education

Blitzer was born in Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany near Munich in 1948, during the post–World War II Allied occupation [2] [3] the son of Cesia Blitzer (née Zylberfuden), a homemaker, and David Blitzer, a home builder. [3] [4] [5] His parents were Polish Jewish refugees from German-occupied Poland who survived the Nazi concentration camps; his grandparents, two uncles, and two aunts on his father's side were all murdered in Auschwitz. [6] [7] His maternal grandparents were rounded up in Poland and sent to a labor camp to make ammunition for the German war effort, and later died of typhoid fever. [8]

Blitzer and his family immigrated to the United States under the provisions of the 1948 Displaced Persons Act. [7] He was raised in Buffalo, New York, and graduated from Kenmore West Senior High School. [6] [7] He received a Bachelor of Arts in history from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1970. While there, he was a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi. In 1972, he received a Master of Arts in International Relations from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). While at SAIS, he studied abroad at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he learned Hebrew. [9]

Blitzer has said he has frequently been asked about his name, which has been characterized as seemingly made for TV. He explained that his surname goes back for generations, and that "Wolf" is the same first name as that of his maternal grandfather. [10] His middle name, Isaac, comes from his paternal grandfather. [8]

Career

Washington and Jerusalem

Blitzer began his career in journalism in the early 1970s, in the Tel Aviv bureau of the Reuters news agency. In 1973, he caught the eye of Jerusalem Post editor Ari Rath, who hired Blitzer as a Washington correspondent for the English-language Israeli newspaper. Blitzer remained with The Jerusalem Post until 1990, covering both American politics and developments in the Middle East. [11]

Fluent in Hebrew, Blitzer also published articles in several Hebrew-language newspapers. Under the name Ze'ev Blitzer, he wrote for Al HaMishmar . Using the name Ze'ev Barak, he had work published in Yedioth Ahronoth . [12] Ze'ev (זאב) is the Hebrew word for "wolf", and Barak (ברק) is the Hebrew word for "lightning" (which in German/Yiddish is Blitz/blits).

In the mid-1970s, Blitzer also worked for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) as the editor of their monthly publication, the Near East Report. [13] [14] While at AIPAC, Blitzer's writing focused on Middle East affairs as they relate to United States foreign policy. [15] [ better source needed ]

At an April 1977 White House press conference, Blitzer asked Egyptian leader Anwar Sadat why Egyptian scholars, athletes and journalists were not permitted to visit Israel. Sadat responded that such visits would be possible after an end to the state of belligerence between the two nations. In November of that year, Sadat made a historic visit to Israel, and Blitzer covered the negotiations between the two countries from the first joint Israeli-Egyptian press conference in 1977, to the final negotiations that would lead to the signing of the Egypt–Israel peace treaty two years later. [11]

In 1985, Blitzer published his first book, Between Washington and Jerusalem: A Reporter's Notebook (Oxford University Press, 1985). The text outlined his personal development as a reporter, and the relations between the United States and Israel.

Jonathan Pollard

In 1986, he became known for his coverage of the arrest and trial of Jonathan Pollard, a US Navy intelligence analyst who was charged with spying for Israel. [11] Blitzer was the first journalist to interview Pollard, and he later wrote a book about the Pollard Affair titled Territory of Lies. [16] In the book, Blitzer writes that Pollard contacted him because he had been reading Blitzer's byline for years, and because Blitzer "had apparently impressed him as someone who was sympathetic". [17] Pollard also hoped that Blitzer would help him "reach the people of Israel, as well as the American Jewish community." [18]

Blitzer's interview with Pollard was controversial in the context of the legal action against him, as it was construed by some media voices as a possible violation of the terms of Pollard's plea deal, which forbade media contact. Blitzer's subsequent book about the affair was included in The New York Times list of "Notable Books of the Year" for 1989. [19] In its review, the Times praised the book as "lucid and highly readable" and called Blitzer's judgment of Israeli officials "harsh but fair". [20]

A review in The New York Review of Books was more critical, prompting a letter from Blitzer accusing the reviewer of making several inaccurate statements. Reviewer Robert I. Friedman responded to Blitzer's criticism by characterizing Territory of Lies as "a slick piece of damage control that would make [Blitzer's] former employers at AIPAC (not to mention Israel's Defense Ministry) proud." [21]

Pollard was released on November 20, 2015, in accordance with federal guidelines in place at the time of his sentencing. [22]

In May 1990, Blitzer moved to CNN and worked as the cable network's military affairs reporter. His team's coverage of the first Gulf War in Kuwait won a CableACE Award and made him a household name.

CNN selected Blitzer to anchor their coverage of all U.S. presidential elections since 2004. [23] Since August 8, 2005, Blitzer has hosted The Situation Room , a two-hour afternoon/early evening program on CNN. [24] [25]

In 2013, he began anchoring the 1pm ET hour of CNN Newsroom ; in 2014, the program was renamed to Wolf . Wolf ended in 2018 and was replaced by CNN Right Now , hosted by Brianna Keilar.

In January 2021, CNN announced programming changes, shortening The Situation Room to one hour (6–7 p.m. (ET)) beginning April 26, and expanding Jake Tapper's role at the network to become Lead Washington anchor and expanded his show The Lead with Jake Tapper to 4–6 p.m. (ET). Blitzer will remain hosting documentaries and serving "as principal anchor for all major breaking news." [1] However, Jim Acosta is now regarded as the network's "chief domestic correspondent". [26]

In 2022, he hosted The Newscast with Wolf Blitzer on CNN's short-lived streaming service, CNN+ [27] from its late March launch to its late April end. [28] [29]

In 1994, American Journalism Review cited him and CNN as the readers' choice for the Best in the Business Award for network coverage of the Clinton administration. [24]
