Long-time, award-winning journalist, Tom DeFrank, is one of the most respected members of the political press corps. DeFrank began his career at Newsweek serving as White House Correspondent and Deputy Bureau Chief of the magazine's Washington bureau (1970-1996) and then served as Washington Bureau Chief for The New York Daily News (1996-2013). Today he is Contributing Editor for the National Journal. He has reported on the activities of Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama. He is the co-author of Bare Knuckles and Back Rooms: My Life in American Politics, the memoir of political consultant Ed Rollins, and The Politics of Diplomacy, the memoir of former Secretary of State James A. Baker, III. His 2007 New York Times best seller Write it When I'm Gone, was based on his 16 years of private interviews with President Ford. In addition to discussing today's political headlines, DeFrank provides audiences a glimpse of the executive office very few get to see, with a highly anecdotal and conversational look at presidential personalities revealing the human—and humorous—side of the office.
