Andrew Adam Newman is a frequent contributor to The New York Times' business, arts and style sections. His articles have appeared in New York magazine, Salon.com, Portfolio.com, Babble.com and Bark magazine.
He also reports and produces stories for Studio 360, the syndicated public-radio show hosted by Kurt Andersen.
He used to be known as...well, he was known as Andy Newman, but there's another guy at the Times with that name who beat him to the byline. After stints at newspapers in Maine and editing an alt-weekly in Boise, he arrived in Pittsburgh in 1995 and during the next decade overhauled both of the city's alt-weeklies, prompting The Pittsburgh Business Times to dub him a "Pittsburgh Changemaker." (And wags to subsequently keep asking him to break a dollar).
Newman won a national Alternative Newsweekly Award in the Arts Feature category in 2003. His cultural, investigative, business and essay writing have earned awards in Pennsylvania, Idaho and Maine.
He served on the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies Board of Directors from 1999 to 2004, most recently as the organization's vice president.
He lives in the East Village with his dog, Henry Hudson.
